Badly behaved fans a danger to one and all

ON MAY 7, about 20 fans of an entertainment star tried to follow the star all way long from the waiting room into the plane in Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, which interrupted the normal flight order and caused a two-hour delay. Beijing News comments:

It is true that idolizing stars is not uncommon and fans want to get up close to their idols, but that should not mean endangering public safety.

Reports show that some of the fans rushed to board the plane without ever checking their boarding pass and it took quite a number of airport employees to restore order. As a result, the flight was delayed for two hours.
