Virgin Australia Plane emergency landing & Hawaiian Stowaway by Vulcan-UK

Virgin Australia flight 41 from Brisbane to Denpasar made an emergency landing after an attempt was made to breach the cockpit by a drunken passenger, the Boeing 737-800 landed without incident and the drunken passenger was arrested. The pilots on board thought their plane was going to be hijacked, and broadcast a SQUAWK 7500 (or Hijacked), however a spokesperson for Virgin Australia said that the aircraft, en-route to Denpasar, said that the aircraft wasn't hijacked as initially reported by Indonesian Metro TV, the aircraft involved remains on the ground at Denpasar Airport. A passenger on-board a Garuda Indonesia flight due to depart from Denpasar, said that 'The captain on my plane made an announcement saying we were delayed indefinitely because a hijack was going on in Bali airport about 150 metres from us. I saw at least least 5 military-style vehicles, filled with men in uniform, rushing towards the plane. The the Virgin plane taxied away followed by a convoy of security forces. The flight attendant said that it was heading to a different part of the airport. Bali airport seems to be in lockdown, we've been told no planes will be departing or arriving. The pilot's not allowing anyone off our plane."
