Drunk offshore worker causes carnage on Scotland-bound easyJet flight after partner dumps him

A passenger who witnessed the drunken outburst said Devine had been 'a complete nightmare' FLY ME A RIVER Drunk offshore worker causes carnage on Scotland-bound easyJet flight after partner dumps him Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A DRUNK off shore oil worker smoked a vape and abused easyJet cabin crew after finding out his partner had dumped him. Kevin Devine downed drinks at an Italian airport and on board a flight to Edinburgh before acting aggressively towards air stewards after learning his long term partner was leaving him.

No reuse without permission. andybarr@ +44 7974923919 Credit: Andrew Barr The oil and gas worker shouted and swore, refused to fasten his seatbelt when requested to and made a telephone call during the flight from Catania, Sicily to Edinburgh Airport. He also repeatedly gesticulated and adopted an aggressive demeanour towards three members of the cabin crew while on board the easyJet aircraft on September 27 last year. Shocked staff were forced to alert the police to Devine's rowdy behaviour and after landing at the Scottish capital officers boarded the plane and arrested the drunk 52-year-old. Devine pleaded guilty to three offences under The Air Navigation Order and Civil Aviation Act when his case called at Edinburgh Sheriff Court last month and sentence was deferred to Thursday. The court was told Devine, from Dundee, had been excused attendance at the hearing as he is currently out of the country for several months working off shore with the oilfield services company Saipem. Sheriff Thomas Welsh agreed to deal with the matter in his absence and sentenced the North Sea quality control coordinator to pay a total fine of £1475 to mark the offences. Devine, who also owns the real estate firm Devine Property Holdings Ltd, had been returning home after several weeks away when the ship he had been working on dropped him off at Sicily. While waiting on his flight at the island's Catania Airport the father of two telephoned his partner who told him she was leaving him and didn't want to see him on his return to Scotland. He was said to have become upset and began drinking alcohol in the airport lounge before continuing to down drinks while travelling home onboard the easyJet flight. The off shore engineer then became aggressive towards cabin crew after they warned him to stop using his vape and not to make telephone calls during the flight. Shocking moment a drunken passenger was arrested after 'punching two cabin crew members' Devine refused instructions to secure his seatbelt on take off and landing and shouted and swore at cabin crew members Colin Robinson, Lauren Hannah and Demi Gardner. A passenger who witnessed the drunken outburst said Devine had been 'a complete nightmare' during the flight. They said: 'The guy didn't seem too drunk when we took off but he began drinking during the flight and soon became abusive towards the crew. 'He was using his vape on a good few occasions, which was a complete disregard for all the other passengers, and was also on his phone to someone. 'He seemed quite upset about something and was shouting and swearing at the easyJet staff who had politely asked him to stop. 'The crew tried to take the vape off him but he wouldn't hand it over and they just didn't have any choice but to inform the police about his behaviour. 'He totally deserved to be arrested when we landed in Edinburgh and to be honest he was a complete nightmare during the flight.' Devine pleaded guilty to charges of being drunk on board the flight and failing to obey commands issued by the pilot and cabin crew, refuse to secure his seatbelt, make a telephone call and use a vape on board the aircraft and refuse to hand over the vape to the crew. He also admitted to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner by shouting, swearing and acting aggressively, all while on board the easyJet flight between Catania, Sicily, and Edinburgh Airport on September 27 last year.

Jon Jones charged with leaving accident scene where ‘intoxicated' woman ‘lacking clothing from waist down' found

The MMA great has faced several DUIs in the past TROUBLE AGAIN Jon Jones charged with leaving accident scene where 'intoxicated' woman 'lacking clothing from waist down' found Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JON JONES was charged with fleeing with scene of an accident just days before announcing his retirement. Court records show the Hall of Famer was charged with leaving the scene of an accident, which caused no great bodily harm or death, on June 17. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Jon Jones announced his retirement from mixed martial arts on Sunday morning Credit: GETTY 5 The UFC legend was charged with fleeing the scene of an accident just days before announcing his retirement Credit: GETTY 5 A woman was found in the passenger seat of the car Jones allegedly fled and 'was exhibiting signs of significant intoxication and lacking clothing from the waist down' Credit: GETTY But records show that the alleged incident took place in New Mexico back on February 24. The police report states that a woman was found in the front passenger seat of one of the cars involved in the incident. The woman, according to the report, was 'exhibiting signs of significant intoxication and lacking clothing from the waist down.' She is said to have told the police that Jones was the driver and ran away from the scene on foot before calling the MMA icon. A police aide stated the person on the phone, who they believed to be Jones, 'appeared to be heavily intoxicated and made statements implying his capacity to employ lethal force through third parties.' Jones is also said to have not directly identified himself to police during the conversation, in which he allegedly made 'allusions to violence'. In an interview with police, Jones claims the woman found in the car was intoxicated when she left his house earlier in the day. He claims she rang him after getting into the crash and passed the phone over to an officer who 'immediately opened the conversations with unprofessional language, which led him to doubt the legitimacy of the individual's claim.' 5 In the police report, the woman found in the car claims she drank alcohol and took mushrooms at Jones' house, with her "next recollection was being at the scene of a traffic accident.' But she remained adamant the person driving the car was Jones, who, in the police report, is said to have called the woman 13 times and sent her scores of text messages from the time of he crash until the following morning. Five Things UFC 309 Cameras Didn't Show Jones, 37, is no stranger to falling afoul of the law when it comes to driving. In 2015, he was charged with a felony hit and run after crashing into two cars - one of which was being driven by a pregnant woman - and leaving the scene on foot. Jones, who faced a litany of DUI's during his career, pled guilty to leaving the scene of a crime and served 18 months probation for the incident, which led to him being stripped of the light-heavyweight title. The bombshell news came on the same day Jones announced he wouldn't be fighting Brit Tom Aspinall in an eagerly-anticipated heayweight title unification fight and would be retiring from MMA. He wrote on X: "Today, I'm officially announcing my retirement from the UFC. "This decision comes after a lot of reflection, and I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the journey I've experienced over the years. "From the first time I stepped into the Octagon, my goal was to push the boundaries of what was possible in this sport. "Becoming the youngest UFC champion in history, defending my title against some of the best fighters in the world, and sharing unforgettable moments with fans across the globe—these are memories I'll cherish forever. I'm officially announcing my retirement from the UFC Jon Jones "I've faced incredible highs and some tough lows, but every challenge has taught me something valuable and made me stronger, both as a fighter and as a person. "I want to thank the UFC, Dana, Hunter, Lorenzo, God, my family, coaches, teammates, and all the fans who have stood by me through every chapter. "Your unwavering support and belief in me have been my foundation. "To my fellow fighters, thank you for bringing out the best in me and for the respect we've shared inside and outside the cage. "As I close this chapter of my life, I look forward to new opportunities and challenges ahead. "MMA will always be a part of who I am. "And I'm excited to see how I can continue to contribute to the sport and inspire others in new ways. "Thank you all for being part of this incredible journey with me. The best is yet to come."

I talked dozens out of boarding doomed Titan sub over catastrophic safety risks – Brit victims were deceived, says diver

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A LEADING deep sea diver who warned Stockton Rush over Titan sub's catastrophic safety risks says victims were "deceived". Titanic expedition leader Rob McCallum talked almost 40 people out of going on the doomed sub - which claimed five lives when it imploded two years ago. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 9 Stockton Rush, CEO of OceanGate, had been warned over safety concerns 9 Debris from the sub is unloaded from a ship Credit: AP 9 Businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman were killed Credit: Reuters 9 McCallum, who has led seven dives to the Titanic, implored OceanGate boss Rush to let an independent agency test his vessel. But his warnings over the sub's critical safety failings fell on deaf ears and "intolerant" Rush simply brushed aside cautions from experts. The world was put in a chokehold when the unclassed sub vanished from radar during a 12,500ft dive down to the Titanic wreckage. Five days after it disappeared on June 18, 2023, a piece of debris was found on the ocean floor - confirming fears it had imploded. All five on board - Rush, British billionaire Hamish Harding, 58, French Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, and son Suleman, 19 - were killed. Harrowing emails show McCallum tried to warn Rush over Titan's danger - but the OceanGate CEO replied he was "tired of industry players who try to use a safety argument to stop innovation". Rush wrote: "We have heard the baseless cries of 'you are going to kill someone' way too often. I take this as a serious personal insult." McCallum said their tense email exchange ended after OceanGate's lawyers threatened legal action, and so he focussed on limiting the number of people who boarded Titan. He told The Sun: "I'd written to him three or four times, and he wasn't going to change. "I'd run out of options. I thought the sub would not survive sea trials and so I just focused on trying to limit the number of people that got into that thing. 'What's that bang?' Chilling moment sound of doomed Titan sub imploding heard from support ship "I probably talked three dozen people out of going on Titan, and I wouldn't get melodramatic about it, because I didn't want to over dramatise it. "Both because I wanted them to keep listening to what I was saying, but also I didn't want to become a drama queen and sort of written off as hysterical. "And so my simple answer was always, I would never get in an unclassed vehicle and nor should you." McCallum said he spoke to both Harding and Nargeolet, who both decided to take the risk. But he said Dawood and his son Suleman would have had "no idea" about the danger they were putting themselves in on the £195,000 dive as OceanGate downplayed the risk. McCallum said: "Hamish and Paul-Henri knew it was risky, but not the level of risk that they were taking. "The other two had no idea at all. And the reason that there's that uncertainty is because I think there was a concerted effort of deception. 9 British billionaire Hamish Harding was among those on the sub Credit: Reuters 9 French Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, also died Credit: AFP 9 "If you look at the culture of OceanGate, they weren't willing to take outside commentary, and anyone inside the camp that spoke out got fired or worse. "And so you've got this diminishing group of people that are only listening to themselves and they just tuned out the talk of the risk. "The risk was still there. But they just weren't talking about it anymore." McCallum, who founded expedition company EYOS, said all of those who he successfully advised not to board Titan realise they had a "close call". He added: "Within 48 hours of the implosion one rang up in tears and said, 'I owe you my life. I was going to get into that sub, and I couldn't get your voice out of my head, and so I turned around and came home'. "He lost his deposit but he said 'I just couldn't get your voice out of my head', and he was in tears. "People are very conscious that they had a close call." McCallum said on the fateful day of the sub's disappearance from radar he "just felt sick". After the sub lost contact with its support ship Polar Prince rescue crews worked around the clock in what was thought to be a race against time to save the crew. But McCallum said it was clear the sub had imploded. 9 "I knew immediately what had happened," he said. "There were two or three days when everyone was going through the search and rescue. "I didn't understand that because we knew it had imploded. "I was sad to lose some friends and shipmates. But I was grateful for small mercies that it would have been instantaneous." Engineer Rush, who co-founded OceanGate in 2009, created Titan with an experimental design made up of a carbon-fiber pod with titanium rings bolted on. McCallum said carbon fiber material is not fit for submerging so deep underwater. But McCallum's warning that carbon fiber would not withstand such pressure, Rush informed him he was "going to carry on regardless". In 2018, OceanGate's then chief pilot David Lochridge was fired after his inspection report laid bare a series of safety risks. A report from the Marine Board of Investigation is expected to be released in the coming weeks. McCallum said: "The report will be comprehensive and should cover all of the attributing elements that led to the disaster. "It will also indicate who is responsible and who might be subject to prosecution." 9 Rob McCallum urged Rush to get the sub certified Credit: Facebook
