*BBC Newsreader voice* The News At Ten. News is just filtering in of an accident at London Heathrow Airport when a man was asked to turn an electronic device off whilst the plane was taking off. Apparently the man, 36, who cannot be named for legal reasons, attempted to explain to the air crew that the device posed no risk to the flight systems. As the debate escalated, one of the air crew tried to grab the device, accidentally switching it's wireless networking on. In the ensuing kerfuffle, several "airport novels" were downloaded onto the device, causing the man, a banker form Surrey, to suffer from what his lawyer has described as "understandable liseuse rage". The flight, flight number 213 to Tenerife, has been delayed whilst officers attempt to escort the man off the plane. It is understood the man will be suing British Airways for the trauma caused by coming into contact with such dire examples of fiction.
