Ordinary people get hit with huge damages all the time.

Uh, no, sorry. Gamergate was about someone doing their normal job and being targeted. This woman was clearly in some kind of distress and doing something that could endanger a plan, and was charged with crimes for it. There is zero comparison, unless you’re just trying to say that no one can ever question a woman under any circumstance. In which case I say to you: F off.

Gamergate was among other things about a bunch of men hiding behind the anonymity of the internet to attack women as women. I see a parallel, if you can’t then it’s your loss…
Tired and Emotional sounds so very sexist when applied to women…

So anytime someone does something anonymously it’s like gamergate? What about anonymous things that happened before gamergate? That’s an extremely tenuous link. Barely worthy of mention.

By hovercraft?
That’s how I ended up in Ramsgate once.
It’s not a fine: she’s been charged but not (yet) convicted. It’s a bill from the airline for the costs they say they incurred in dealing with her actions.
Seconded. Here’s the BBC and the Birmingham Mail instead:

Ah, the days when innovative technology promised the sunlit uplands. And I still don’t have my own personal flying car, dammit!
Hoverlloyd - ran for longer than one might think.

Chloe Haines, of High Wycombe, appeared before Chelmsford magistrates charged with assault and acting in a manner likely to endanger an aircraft.
If the assault charge is based on this “A cabin crew member was scratched as she tried to stop the door of the Jet2 flight to Dalaman opening on 22 June.”
and the “acting in a manner likely to endanger an aircraft” charge is based on the fact that she tried to open a door that she was not capable of opening,
she should have no trouble beating the charges.
Crossing the channel in (on?) a SR.N4 felt like a very loud funfair ride.
When the swell hit the skirt the whole thing would kinda lurch and wobble on all three axes simultaneously. The noise and vibration of early piston-engined passenger planes, the fuel consumption of early jets, the mal de mer of a conventional crossing, all rolled into one - what’s not to like? If Britain had ever initiated a manned space programme beyond putting a man in a tracksuit on a ladder they could have picked their first astronauts using hovercrafts.

Which is almost certainly why @anon33176345 did not wake up having arrived in Ramsgate by hovercraft. It is not possible to sleep through that, I suspect.
Well, IIRC, you could buy liberal amounts of duty-free booze, so…

Ah, horizontal lubricant. Yes, that might work, even on a hovercraft, provided you didn’t throw up first.

Coincidentally I did travel on the last hovercraft crossing, there were lots of fans (no pun intended) taking photographs and tears from some staff. I did enjoy the experience but it was a smooth crossing.

Wow. That’s something to tell the grandkids about (metaphorically or otherwise).
