Ха-ха, русские доотмечались http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/world-juniors/russian-team-kicked-off-flight-after-celebrating-world-junior-win/article1859778/The Russian junior hockey team was kicked off a Delta Air Lines flight early Thursday for “unruly behaviour,” officials said. The Russian delegation spent much of the night celebrating their 5-3 World Junior victory over Canada in the bar of a Buffalo hotel. Thirty players and other members of the group were asked to deplane after boarding Delta flight 1266, which was scheduled to depart Buffalo for Atlanta at 6:10 a.m. “In order to ensure the safe operation of the flight, the crew of flight 1266 denied boarding to 30 passengers who were flying together and displaying unruly behaviour and those passengers are being rebooked on a future flight,” said Betsy Talton, a Delta spokeswoman. The agency that operates the Buffalo Niagara International Airport called in extra police “just to make sure that nothing did happen,” said C. Douglas Hartmayer, director of public affairs for the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority. However, he said, officers did not have to intervene. While Ms. Talton would not discuss the identities of the 30 unruly passengers because of airline policy, Mr. Hartmayer confirmed they were the Russian delegation. The Russians stayed at the Adam’s Mark Hotel in Buffalo and marked their victory in its bar, singing and toasting well into the night.
