LIQUID SOAP CONTAINS ALCOHOL?

A HANDY TIP FOR THE NEXT TIME YOU ARE CUT OFF FROM THE BAR BY A FLIGHT ATTENDANT!

FROM THE DAILY TELEGRAPH:



Society lady Galina Rusanova goes on flight rampage

A RESPECTED artist has been arrested after mixing a cocktail of wine and prescription drugs before allegedly drinking liquid soap and attacking flight stewards on a long-haul flight.

British-based Russian Galina Rusanova – who mixes with the rich and famous at London society and charity events - is accused of punching, kicking and - at one point - "snapping like a dog" while trying to bite a crew member's leg, reports the Daily Mail.

Rusanova, 54, appeared at court in Bangor, Maine, on Friday, charged with assault and interference with a flight crew after the turbulent trans-Atlantic flight.

According to the FBI, Rusanova went to Los Angeles to visit a man she met on the internet and was returning to London on Wednesday when her flight was diverted to Bangor.

According to court documents, after her arrest she spent the night at Eastern Maine Medical Center for observation and is said to have told FBI agents: "It's typical of me. I sometimes do crazy things."

The trouble is thought to have started three hours into the United Airlines flight.

Court reports claim she seemed very intoxicated, found it hard to get into her seat and kicked the seat in front.

Rusanova allegedly fell asleep but then began bothering other passengers, moving around the cabin and speaking incoherently when she awoke.

She is then accused of drinking a bottle of liquid hand soap from a lavatory on the plane as a flight attendant looked on, according to the documents.

Liquid soap is sometimes consumed for its alcohol content.

As other staff and a passenger tried to calm her down, Rusanova allegedly assaulted them.

She was then handcuffed to a crew member's seat at the back of the passenger compartment, the documents said.
