A drunken British passenger forced a plane headed for Tenerife to make an emergency landing after the pilot pleaded for help from 'cops or soldiers.'
The incident happened on board a flight run by Dutch budget airline Transavia from Eindhoven in the Netherlands to Tenerife in the Spanish Canary Islands on New Year's Day.
