Drunk US teens arrested at Heathrow after chaos on Virgin Atlantic flight from LA

Virgin Atlantic initially refused to fly them back after the mid-air chaos, but later relented — reportedly taking “revenge” by sending the teens to separate cities across the US and telling their parents, some of whom are said to be sports stars, to collect them.
My kind of revenge

  This is the most shocking part of this article to me. If theyre minors originally on a supervised trip, wouldnt it be like child endangerment or something to not send them back to their parents?

  I'm sure these ultra rich entitled children are in so much danger. Won't somebody think of the 1%

  You're generally allowed to fly alone as a minor once you're 15 or older.

The teenagers, believed to be from wealthy American families, were taken into custody where they had mugshots and fingerprints taken.
Lessee how entitled their parents are

In the US that would be a 10 year entry ban, wonder how hard the UK will slap their wrists.

  Just states their travel authorizations were revoked and they were sent back, no info on long term consequences.
