Flight cancelled due to drunken crew
According to Der Spiegel (German original here, computer translation here), Ukranian security forces cancelled a Donbassaero Airlines flight and arrested a pilot, co-pilot and cabin attendants at the airport in Simferopol, Ukraine for being falling-down drunk ("sturzbetrunkene"), with blood alcohol levels between 3 and 3.5 parts per thousand (versus 0.08, the legal level for drunk driving in many states).
