Nine schoolchildren from the US have been arrested at London Heathrow Airport after getting drunk on a Virgin Atlantic flight from Los Angeles.
The teenagers used fake IDs to purchase alcohol on the flight, then drank it on board.
The emergency alert was sent from pilots on Flight VS008 on July 14 as the incident unfolded.
Overwhelmed teachers and flight crew said the teenagers were "screaming and running amok" during the journey.

A source told The Sun: "The posh kids couldn't handle their booze."
Virgin Atlantic initially refused to take the teenagers back following the chaos, but later backtracked.
The airline has reportedly taken "revenge" by sending the teenagers to separate cities across the US, telling their parents to collect them.
The source added: "The kids bought booze before the flight, then smuggled it on."

It follows a Ryanair flight being plunged into "chaos" after police boarded the aircraft to arrest a 69-year-old man.
The incident occurred aboard the Palma to Edinburgh flight, when the man's behaviour prompted the cabin crew to request police assistance while the aircraft was still airborne.
The flight was scheduled to reach Edinburgh at 6:10pm, but touched down approximately 50 minutes behind schedule at 7pm.
Upon arrival, travellers were instructed to stay in their seats whilst officers boarded the aircraft to deal with the situation.
