The Sun reports Shehraz Sarwar, 38, caused widespread panic with his ‘obnoxious’ behaviour as the Emirates Boeing 777 from Dubai started landing procedures in February last year. Some of the 347 passengers were left shaken and in tears after the terrifying outbursts.
A passenger sparked terror panic on a Birmingham-bound flight after shouting “Allahu Akbar” and “Boom”.
Shehraz Sarwar, 38, caused widespread alarm with his ‘obnoxious’ behaviour as the Emirates Boeing 777 from Dubai was about to land on February 1 last year.
Some of the 347 passengers were left in tears after becoming terrified by his shouting.
The Birmingham Mail reports Sarwar, from the Saltley of Birmingham, had caused trouble from the start of the flight.
He twice refused to put his seat belt on during take-off and then made the loud outbursts before landing at Birmingham Airport.
Sarwar sparked terror fears as the plane came in to land at Birmingham Airport
Patrick Sullivan, prosecuting, told Birmingham Crown Court: “The behaviour before these words was obnoxious.
“He fell asleep for about three quarters of the flight and when he woke up he threw a towel back at a member of staff who had offered him one. He also threw a scone behind him although it did not land on anyone.
“He was also hitting his head with his hand. People were distressed and upset by his behaviour.
“In a statement, one of the passengers said the plane had hit strong turbulence as they were descending.
“He said that he was happy to have survived the landing but feared, after hearing Sarwar, that he was going to be the victim of a terrorist bomb and that his ‘heart skipped a beat.’”
Shehraz Sarwar pleaded guilty to using threatening words and behaviour
Sarwar pleaded guilty to using threatening words and behaviour.
Judge Simon Drew QC adjourned sentence until July 1 for a report to be prepared, warning Sarwar that all sentencing options were open.
Balbir Singh, defending, said his client had been upset after attending his grandmother’s funeral in Pakistan and had also not taken his medication, methadone.
He said: “There was considerable turbulence. One of the cabin crew, with 14 years experience, said it was the worse landing she had ever experienced.
“Everybody was scared. He put people who were already in fear in greater fear.” SOURCE
The Bible tells us that every human has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God which is is a heart-penetrating truth. He has provided a way to cleanse us of our sins since we can never be “good enough” to cleanse ourselves. That avenue to God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness (the cleansing of our sins) is through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who is equally God.
Not one of us are guaranteed a “tomorrow”. Has your time run out? Will you continue to ignore the promptings of God the Holy Spirit or have you awakened to the essential need for God, risking eternal damnation?
God the Holy Father, God the Holy Son and God the Holy Spirit are One God, the true, living, uncreated God Who is ever-present, all knowing, all powerful and all loving. He desires that every single person be forgiven, saved and to live eternally with Him. He is our only real protection and His love for you is unchanging. Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, the true Messiah, today.
You can’t take your salvation for a test drive. You’re all-in or not.
Admit to Him that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness, that you are truly sorry for your sins. Acknowledge that He died for your sins, rose from the dead and lives forevermore. Invite Him into your life and to help you to turn from sin. Rejoice! You just became a Christian! Now trust in Him and get to know Him through the Bible which tells us everything we need to know and through prayer/talking to Him. He eagerly desires relationship with you.
