Slim woman thrown off plane to make space for obese teenager who needed TWO seats

A petite passenger was ordered off a busy plane so that an obese teenager could have two seats.

The 8st woman was left 'stunned' when cabin crew staff told her to leave the last available seat on a Southwest Airlines flight from Las Vegas to Sacramento, in the U.S.

The seat was then given to an overweight 14-year-old girl who was travelling alone.

The woman, who wants to remain anonymous, spoke to the Sacramento Bee newspaper about the incident. She had paid full price for her seat, and says she was berated by staff when asked why she had been kicked off the flight.

Teenager quoted £17,000 for his £2,000 car!

Latest news, Family finances

A teenager learning to drive has been quoted a massive £17,000 to insure his £2,000 Vauxhall Corsa.

James Hayes, who turns 17 next week, saved for months for his one-litre car but was shocked at the sky-high quotes for insurance.

The failure of insurers to offer reasonably priced insurance is being blamed on a huge increase in uninsured drivers, which increases the cost of cover for others. Many middle-class parents now commit a crime by putting themselves as the main driver on their children's cars.

'Happy slappers' who killed grandfather outside mosque may walk free in months

Latest news

A pensioner was killed outside a mosque by two members of a 'happy slapping' gang, and the whole thing was caught on CCTV.

The footage, which was released by police, show how Ekram Haque, 67, was struck to the ground in front of his three-year-old granddaughter Marian.

In the video, Marian can be seen trying to comfort her grandfather, who suffered irreparable brain damage. He died a week after the assault last August.

The grandfather and granddaughter had only just left the mosque after attending prayers for the holy season of Ramadan when the attack happened.

Yesterday a court order was lifted, allowing Mr Haque's killers, Leon Elcock, now 16, and Hamza Lyzai, now 15, both of Tooting, South-West London, to be named.

Teenage boys set fire to live pet chickens from primary school

The teenagers used a flammable liquid to ignite the two birds which were kept at St Peters Primary School in Brotton, Teeside. One died instantly and the other died later from the injuries.

The RSPCA prosecuted the boys for causing unnecessary suffering to an animal.

The incident took place on August 25th of last year. Police spotted the teenagers, aged 15, 15 and 13, looking suspicious and noted the smell of petrol or lighter fluid when they spoke to them.

Boy, 3, survives heart failure, transplant and leukaemia

Medical conditions, Latest news

Brave toddler Patrick Skinner has defied the odds by battling leukaemia, heart failure and a heart transplant.

The boy's heart failed when chemotherapy drugs were used to treat the blood disorder.

With the help of two heart pumps, he managed to stay alive until a suitable donor was found for a transplant operation three months later.

Now, as he approaches his fourth birthday, he is preparing to take part in a five-mile sponsored walk.

His parents Kevin Skinner and Devon Higgins, 26, who live in Whitley Bay in Tyne and Wear, are stunned at his amazing recovery.

Mr Skinner, 29, a structural engineer, said: 'Nobody expects to see their children go through the kind of problems which Patrick has.

'To see him so active now is amazing and we are very grateful for the care he has received.'
