A woman who forced a Russian airliner to make an emergency landing today in Moscow after claiming she had a bomb may have reacted badly to a weight loss drug she was taking, according to her brother. Airline S7 said the plane landed safely at Moscow's Domodedovo airport and no explosives were found after Polodiantseva was arrested. She is a balanced, calm person. The plane had been flying to Moscow from Simferopol in Crimea, a region Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014. There were at first fears that the Russian airline could have been targeted due to tensions over the disputed region.
