The Detroit Police on Tuesday identified the man accused of urinating on a fellow passenger during a Delta flight earlier this month as a pastor from Raleigh.

A police report obtained by the Winston-Salem Journal says Daniel Chalmers was arrested at the Detroit Metro Airport after the flight landed on Oct. 13.

According to the report, a passenger named Alicia Beverly, told police she woke up on the plane around 2:45 a.m. to find a man urinating on her.

Police said Beverly alerted the flight crew and the two were separated. When asked what had happened, Beverly reported replied: “He peed on me!”

When the man was asked “What did you do?” he reportedly said: “I peed on her, I thought I was going to the bathroom.”

After the plane landed in Detroit, airport police boarded the plane and Beverly told the officers what had happened. Police said the man initially denied her accusations, telling officers: “I’m a pastor, that is out of my character and I didn’t do it.”

The Supreme Court on Thursday ordered domestic airlines operating flights within and outside India to refund passengers the cost of tickets of flights cancelled between March 25-May 24 without any cancellation charges.

A bench of Justices Ashok Bhushan, R S Reddy and M R Shah said, "Even for international travel, when the tickets have been booked on an Indian carrier and the booking is ex-India, if the tickets have been booked during the lockdown period for travel within the lockdown period, immediate refund shall be made."

It said the condition of full refund within three weeks would also apply to foreign carriers if the booking was made within India. "In all other cases, the airlines shall make all endeavours to refund the collected amount to the passenger within 15 days from today," they said.

"If on account of financial distress, any airline is not able to do so, they shall provide a credit shell, equal to the amount of fare collected. The credit shell could be utilised to book tickets on any route and could be transferred in the name of another by the original passenger.

"In cases where passengers have purchased the ticket through an agent, and a credit shell is issued in the name of passenger, such credit shell is to be utilised only through the agent who has booked the ticket." If the credit shell is not utilised by March 31, 2021, then the travel agent will refund money against it, the bench said.

"In all cases where credit shell is issued there shall be an incentive to compensate the passenger from the date of cancellation upto June 30, in which event the credit shell shall be enhanced by 0.5% of the face value (the amount of fare collected) for every month or part thereof between the date of cancellation and June 30. Thereafter the value of the credit shell shall be enhanced by 0.75% of the face value per month upto March 31, 2021," it said and asked the DGCA to enforce this strictly.

The Antonov An-225 is not just about its colossal size and capacity. This aircraft is powered by six enormous Ivchenko Progress D-18T turbofan engines. Each of the engine is capable of generating over 23,000 kg of thrust. Imagine that power! 🤩 Also, this is not an ordinary cargo aircraft that we normally see at airports. It is different because it speacializes in transporting oversized and super-heavy shipments. This aircraft is indeed a star in her own league as it has set over 200 world records, including transporting the world’s heaviest cargo and the world’s longest cargo. With a total wingspan of 290 feet, the aircraft has the largest wingspan of any aircraft in service. Can’t imagine how big is that? The length is actually just 10 feet short of the length of a football field! 😎

P/s: There is only one Antonov An-225 in service in the world! ✨
