A Russian hockey player caused a commotion on a domestic flight when he demanded vodka and threatened to blow up the plane.
Andrei Sidyakin, 39, who plays for the Russian Hockey League team Monetka in Yekaterinburg, was on a flight from Moscow to Ural when he became unruly and asked the flight attendants for alcohol. When they refused to serve him, he claimed that he had a bomb and tried to open the plane’s door.
Mash, (an online Russian news outlet), reported on Telegram, one of the most widely used Russian-language channels on the instant messaging service, that Sidyakin displayed “disruptive behavior” and persistently “harassed” the flight attendants for a drink.
