The captain of a Virgin Atlantic flight was hauled off his plane in handcuffs for being "drunk".
The incident happened in front of shocked passengers of a New York bound flight from Heathrow Terminal 3 at 8.59am on Saturday.
The pilot, 47, was breathalysed and arrested behind the controls even as more than 300 people on board the Airbus 340 flight, VS003, waited for take off.
