Two members of Research in Motion, a BlackBerry maker, were recently arrested and pleaded guilty to causing distrubances on a plane headed to Beijing. The two men were intoxicated but the initial cause of the problem is still unclear. Due to the disturbances, the flight was redirected to Vancuver, Canada. This caused the flight to be delayed a total of 18 hours and Air Canada had to pay for hotel rooms for each of the other passengers because there was not enough air time left for the flight to be completed. An investigation is taking place and the men are not allowed to return to work until it is over.
