“A British airplane en route to Poland was forced to make an emergency landing in Germany after a 56-year-old woman spilled a hot cup of tea on herself, German police said on Wednesday.
The Ryanair flight from Liverpool to Poznan made the unscheduled landing in the northwestern city of Bremen on Tuesday, local police said.”

This is one of the most outrageous stories I have read this year, to make an emergency landing so that a paramedic could treat this clumsy lady with Neosporin is patently ridiculous.
To inconvenience hundreds of passengers because of one clueless passenger boggles the mind. The airline may have avoided a law suit by the clumsy lady, but they risked a riot by disgruntled passengers.
But the airline shares some of the blame, they should never serve hot beverages on a flight.
