Poland and Polish Discussion Group and Forum

Welcome to the original English language Poland and Polish discussion group board. This message forum is a place where English-speaking Poles, foreigners (expats) living in Poland, and anyone with a genuine interest in Poland can discuss and read the views of others concerning Poland. Subjects include: Polish news and current affairs; Life in Poland; politics; genealogy research; Polish culture and history; advice and tips on visiting Poland; Polish property and investment issues. The aim of our group is to increase awareness of wonderful Poland using the English language and allow and foster the honest debate and exchange of opinions on anything vaguely related to Poland and Polish - positive, negative and/or neutral! This discussion group is not an open-to-all public message board. Membership is by invitation only and therefore given that a fairly limited number of people have full access, it is more of a community blog than a straightforward forum. This application system was brought in to lessen the amount of spam and nonsensical and commercial posts made by casual visitors and off-topic and offensive posts left by a disruptive minority. To ask  a one-off question about Poland or respond to comments made on this board without a password just email us and provided it is at least halfway sensible, we'll post it on the board for all to see and current members will try to respond! All opinions and views expressed on this site are solely those of their respective authors and are not necessarily those of anyone else!

German and Russian passengers force 2 planes to land in Poland

2 planes make emergency landings in Poland because of unruly passengers

WARSAW, Poland (AP) - Two passenger jets made unrelated emergency landings in Poland on Monday to remove rowdy passengers, one of whom claimed to be a terrorist.

Polish border guards took a Russian citizen off an Ukraine-bound flight after he claimed to be a terrorist and checked his luggage at Pyrzowice airport, near the southern city of Katowice. They found no evidence that he was a terrorist, but he appeared to be inebriated, said Maj. Cezary Zaborski, spokesman for local border guards.

The plane, an Airbus 320 operated by Lufthansa that took off from Frankfurt with more than 110 passengers, continued on to Kyiv.

A few hours later, an LTU-operated Airbus A330 on its way from Bangkok, Thailand, to Duesseldorf, Germany, landed at Warsaw's Okecie airport and a German man was removed because he had become unruly after drinking too much alcohol.

The man's wife decided to continue on to Germany with their child, said Wojciech Zachariasz, a spokesman for Warsaw border guards there.

Polish prosecutors will decide whether to detain the men. They could face up to three years in prison or fines for provoking emergency landings.
