Millionaire's Nose Broken in Aer Lingus Air Rage
Attack.
(by Helen Murray & Eoin Rice - The Sunday
Tribune)

Multi-Millionaire businessman and former owner of

the Sunday World, Gerry McGuinness, was left with

a broken nose after an assault by a fellow
passenger on board an Aer Lingus flight this
weekend.

McGuiness was rushed to hospital by ambulance
following the attack on a flight from Malaga to
Dublin on Friday afternoon.

A US National appeared in Dublin District Court
yesterday on a charge of assault causing harm.

The court heard evidence from arresting garda
that Harry ("choo choo") Romero,
understood to be from New Jersey, had hit another

passenger as he was disembarking the plane.
Romero, a DJ and record producer, was travelling
to Ireland to DJ at a Belfast nightclub. He was
granted bail of 15,000 euro yesterday and will
reside in Lisburn until his next appearance in
court on 5 September. Following his arrest at
Dublin Airport on Friday, the 30-year-old had
been held in custody in Santry Garda station
until yesterday's (saturday) court appearance.
The assault is understood to have taken place
after luggage from an overhead locker, belonging
to the american, fell on top of McGuinness's
travelling companion. Romero was subdued by Aer
Lingus staff, who notified Gardai on the ground.
He was handcuffed immediately upon arrival in
Dublin.

The bail money seems high for an assault, perhaps as he is only visiting.

Obviously been listening to Redman's Doc's da name LP too much.

Really though, perhaps ego's clashed, multi milionaires can be full of themselves.

I think being rushed to hospital by ambulance is a little extreme for a broken nose, what a big girls blouse graemlins/rofl.gif

It sounds like the paper already convicted him and gave him a very negative spin....I hope Harry gets out of this one ok.

I'll second that, I wonder if this McGuiness chap is pressing the charges or is it maybe the airline, he might get convicted of air rage then he will really be in the siht. graemlins/jpshakehead.gif

So lets see Harry got pissed that HIS luggage fell on them, and got up, started cussing at them because his luggage's flight to the floor was interrupted by some idiot who happened to be in the way, and broke McGuinness's nose during the ensuing scuffle.

Or lets try this approach. Harry's luggage fell on McGuinness's travelling companion. McGuinness's and co. got pissed and rude, but Harry wasn't having it and got the better of my man.

You be the judge.

Choice 2 TAC ;) , I reckon Mc.. duo dealt with the situation as people of their standing might. When people get blurred on whether they are talking to subordinates or the general public.

Here are some conversations that airline passengers normally
will never
hear. The following are accounts of actual exchanges between airline
pilots and control towers from around the world:
============

While taxiing at London Gatwick, the crew of a US Air flight departing
for Ft. Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United
727.

An irate female ground controller lashed out at the US Air crew,
screaming: "US Air 2771, where the hell are you going?! I told you to
turn right onto Charlie taxiway! You turned right on Delta! Stop right
there. I know it's difficult for you to tell the difference between C'
and D', but get it right!"

Continuing her rage to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting
hysterically: "God! Now you've screwed everything up! It'll take forever
to sort this out! You stay right there and don't move till I tell you
to! You can expect progressive taxi instructions in about half an hour
and I want you to go exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how
I tell you! You got that, US Air 2771?"

"Yes ma'am," the humbled crew responded.

Naturally, the ground control communications frequency fell terribly
silent after the verbal bashing of US Air 2771. Nobody wanted to chance
engaging the irate ground controller in her current state of mind.
Tension in every cockpit out in Gatwick was definitely running high.

Just then an unknown pilot broke the silence and keyed his microphone,
asking: "Wasn't I married to you once?"

==========

A DC-10 had come in a little hot and thus had an exceedingly long roll
out after touching down.

San Jose Tower Noted: "American 751, make a hard right turn at the end
of the runway, if you are able... If not able, take the Guadalupe exit
off Highway 101, make a right at the lights and return to the airport."

==========

Unknown aircraft waiting in a very long takeoff queue: "I'm f...ing
bored!"

Ground Traffic Control: "Last aircraft transmitting, identify yourself
immediately!"

Unknown aircraft: "I said I was f...ing bored, not f...ing stupid!"

==========

Tower: "Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on
frequency 124.7"

Eastern 702: "Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure. By the way,
after we lifted off we saw some kind of dead animal on the far end of
the runway."

Tower: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff behind Eastern 702,
contact Departure on frequency 124.7. Did you copy that report from
Eastern 702?"

Continental 635: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, roger; and yes,
we copied Eastern... we've already notified our caterers"

==========

The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as
short-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate parking
location, but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it
was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following
exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747,
call sign Speedbird 206":

Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway."

Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven."

The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.
Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know vhere you are going?"

Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location
now."

Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you not
been to Frankfurt before?"

Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944 but I didn't stop."
==========

O'Hare Approach Control to a 747: "United 329 heavy, your traffic is a
Fokker, one o'clock, three miles, eastbound."
United 239: "Approach, I've always wanted to say this... I've got the
little Fokker in sight."

==========

A Pan Am 727 flight waiting for start clearance in Munich overheard the
following:

Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?"

Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English."

Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in
Germany. Why must I speak English?"

Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent):
"Because you lost the bloody war!"

TAC </font>[/QUOTE]I don't think we should be the judges given that we NOTHING about what happened. We could make a speculative judgement based on little or no evidence.

Is the fact that he's a house dj/producer mean that he's exempt from justice? If he's broken the guy's nose and was in the wrong then surely he should face the consequences.
Maybe his lawyer should bribe the judge with promos.

Man that sucks. You have no idea what a shitbox Lisburn is either! Being confined there is cruel and unusual punishment in itself....

By the way, the Sunday World is a revolting Irish tabloid so McGuinness deserves everything he gets if you ask me.

Not that I'm endorsing violence, but there are just some muthafukas who think they can be an asshole toward anyone they wish like some great force in nature will come between their face and a punch in the mouth.

In LA, people talk way too much shit - in traffic, in line in stores, in clubs, on set (especially union cats). I keep thinking just how fast any one of them would crumble when housed in the grill. I also keep thinking about how we don't have that shit in Chicago. Maybe in NYC and LA (where everyone wants to front like they're from NYC) you can shout shit like "Hey asshole!" and stuff like that to people you don't know, but in the Chi you can wind up in a dumpster.
