Boy spills tea on himself

A Ryanair flight from London to Brindisi had to make an emergency landing in Memmingen, Germany, after a nine-year-old boy spilled scalding hot tea on himself, resulting in third-degree burns. The incident prompted the pilot to announce an emergency to passengers and required the crew to prepare for an unexpected landing. Upon landing, the boy was airlifted to a hospital for treatment, where doctors confirmed the severity of his burns. Local police conducted an investigation, concluding that the boy's injuries were due to his own carelessness and not the fault of any third party. The flight, which took off at 7:22 am, ultimately resumed its journey and arrived in Italy over an hour late. This incident reflects ongoing concerns about safety and the handling of hot beverages on flights, drawing parallels to past cases involving injuries from airline food service.
