This story not only provides us with an illustration of mental instability at work, but will also, no doubt, provide fodder for the conspiracy theorists.
Frightened passengers on a Virgin Blue flight last week from Hobart to Melbourne endured a 50-minute tirade by a woman who stripped topless and ranted the flight was the next September 11.
A passenger on board the flight, known only as Ellie, told Melbourne radio station 3AW the woman “absolutely went psycho” as flight DJ 145 taxied onto the runway last Thursday night.
Ellie said the woman became loud and erratic, telling passengers she had met an Israeli man who had a vision that everyone was going to die and the plane was the next September 11.
