Domestic flight in China was forced to make an emergency landing after a woman in an inebriated state broke a window mid-flight. The woman was upset over a failed relationship.

Authorities state that the 29-year-old Li lost control of her emotions on the flight on May 25. Photos of the incident showing Ms Li crying on the seat while repeatedly striking the glass window went viral. She managed to crack the first layer of the window by punching it.

Ms Li had gone through a break-up recently, which led to the outburst on the plane. She was reported to have consumed half a litre of the Chinese grain alcohol which has an alcohol volume of 35 to 60 per cent, before boarding the flight.
