Club Busted For Exchanging Food Stamps For Drugs & Sex

Mumbai, IN- An airplane was forced to make an emergency landing last week.

The Jet Airways flight, carrying 166 passengers, had to turn around and deplane after crew members forgot to press a button to pressurize the cabin. Oxygen masks were deployed because of the loss of pressure, and several passengers suffered bleeding from their ears and noses.

Multiple passengers tweeted from the plane describing the nightmarish flight Wednesday.

Police found that the staff at Sharky's Lounge had been letting customers use FOOD STAMPS to pay for lap dances.
