Air India passengers stranded on plane at Gatwick Airport

Passengers were stranded on a plane on the Tarmac at Gatwick Airport for more than eight hours after fog caused their flight to be diverted.
The Air India flight was on its way from Mumbai to Heathrow Airport when the weather conditions forced it to divert to Gatwick at about 08:00 BST.
A spokesman for the Sussex airport said the airline had to wait for a crew before it could complete its journey.
The flight was due to take off and resume its journey at 17:00 BST.
Sussex Police were called to the flight to prevent a breach of the peace as tempers among passengers flared.
A BBC World Service reporter on board said the mood on the plane became heated.
Rahul Joglekar said he did not know why the passengers were prevented from disembarking the aircraft.
