a 10 year old child was struck in the head by a flying bottle of wine
I am in no way way condoning this behaviour - if they had been on my flight I would have been considering a divert and offload.
However, 1) I don't agree with blanket bans as 95% of the travelling public are decent people capable of making their own decisions and controlling their behaviour, and 2) again, I'm not belittling the incident", but a flying bottle of wine" gives rise to thoughts of a big glass bottle flying through the air - in this instance it would be a small 187ml plastic bottle. Still capable of causing injury I'm sure, but not quite worthy of the headline.
It is a select few few who need dealing with - why do want to legislate against the other 95% of human beings who are decent people?
