Passengers delayed for 7 hours after two ‘unruly' men attempt to storm cockpit despite pleas from crew
Two 'unruly' passengers caused a seven-hour flight delay after bum-rushing the cockpit on board an aircraft. The disruptive incident reportedly occurred Monday aboard a flight from Delhi to Mumbai, Jam Press reported. The aircraft had been taxiing on the runway in preparation for departure when the 'two attempted to forcefully approach the cockpit and caused a disruption' a SpiceJet spokesperson told the outlet. A passenger attempts to storm the cockpit as onlookers look on in shock. Jam Press/TIM 'The two attempted to forcefully approach the cockpit and caused a disruption while the aircraft was taxiing,' a SpiceJet spokesperson said. Jam Press/TIM Both cabin crew and flyers pleaded with the men to return to their seats. That's when the crew then made the executive decision to return to the terminal and 'offload' the two air barbarians in the interest of passenger and crew safety, the airline rep recalled. The SpiceJet flight, which was originally slated to take off at 12:30 p.m., was delayed until 7:21 p.m. due to the disruption. Thankfully, no injuries were reported during the kerfuffle, although the incident has raised concerns over airline security and passenger behavior. Indeed, this isn't the first time a flyer has attempted to storm the flight deck of late. In April, American Airlines flight attendants were forced to physically restrain a female passenger after she tried to barge into the cockpit during a New York-bound flight. Meanwhile, there have been seemingly myriad instances of passengers attempting to open emergency doors in flight. In March, an Ultra Airlines flight attendant broke his leg while restraining a passenger who tried to open the emergency exit on an international flight.

Perth mum's bikini start-up lands spot at NY Swim Week
Just seven months into launching her fashion brand EllaMarie Swimwear, Perth mother Lauree Conte's empowering fits will depart the Fremantle coastline for the Manhattan skyline after getting a call-up to feature at New York Swim Week on July 26. The annual event offers sought-after exposure for both global and emerging labels, with EllaMarie believed to be the only Aussie label on display. Based out of Savvy Brands' retail store in East Fremantle but building a strong online presence, the 39-year-old describes her pieces as 'very sexy, very sleek' and adjustable to suit many body types. Ella Marie Swimwear has received a call-up to New York Swim Week. Credit: Unknown / EllaMarie Swimwear She said she's often struggled to find quality swimwear to fit her curvy body, and is hoping her range will fill a 'gap in the market'. 'I've always been about feeling confident, feeling powerful, feeling good within your own skin,' she told PerthNow. With a focus on sustainability, EllaMarie's pieces are crafted from Italian producer Carvico's innovative fabrics — comprising 78 per cent recycled fibres, and featuring chlorine resistance, an SPF 50+ sun rating, and a high degree of durability. Allocated 10 pieces to showcase, Ms Conte has no shortage of suitors lining up to try them on. 'I've had probably 50 American models contact me, asking if they can model for me for the show,' she revealed. Her 'OG collection' will continue to be sold through the Aussie summer, with tops typically priced at $65 and bottoms from $65. Lauree Conte launched the swimwear brand in January. Credit: Unknown / EllaMarie Swimwear The entrepreneur, who has worked in mining for 20 years, was inspired by her seven-year-old daughter Ella Marie to launch the label but admits juggling all of her priorities has proven difficult. She hopes the brand will become successful enough to afford her more time at home. 'Being able to come home every single day, drop my daughter at school and pick her up is essentially the end goal,' she said. 'Currently working in corporate mining, I'm never there.' With the mother's side hustle New York-bound, Ms Conte is buoyed by the recognition she has already received and the prospect of exposure on a grand scale. 'I'm just very excited to go and represent Western Australia in the big smoke., and we'll do our best,' she said.
