To their credit the BA cabin crew were very assertive and very persistent - they weren't going to let them get away with it. They threatened to get the captain to offload them. In the end they gave in (only to go through it all again for landing).

The whole thing just boggled my mind.
The bolded bit is a good reason to kick them off regardless once they've caused the initial problem.

I don't think being hit by a child moving at 550mph would do my complexion much good.
