ANGRY FLiGHT ATTENDANT CHARGED WiTH SETTiNG FiRE ON PLANE

FARGO, North Dakota - A flight attendant angry about his work route smuggled a lighter aboard an airplane and set a fire in a bathroom, forcing an emergency landing, authorities said Thursday. The Compass Airlines flight carrying 72 passengers and four crew members landed safely in Fargo on May 7 after smoke filled the back. No injuries were reported. The plane was flying from Minneapolis to Regina, Saskatchewan, authorities said. Eder Rojas, 19, appeared in court Thursday, following his arrest a day earlier in Minneapolis, and was ordered held without bail, prosecutors said. The charge of setting fire aboard a civil aircraft carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.

This significance about this article is that a young man lit afir in an airplane because he was mad, but the fire could of gotten worse and cause a huge fire. I think now the security in the airports are going to be more strict because of what just happened in the bathroom airplane. Maybe they wont allow lighters anymore inside an airplane.
