SOZZLED schoolchildren endangered a transatlantic flight after using fake ID to buy alcohol then sinking it at 30,000ft.

Nine “out of control” teens were arrested after the Virgin jet landed at Heathrow.

Exasperated teachers and flight crew told how the group were “screaming and running amok”.

Alarmed pilots on the flight from Los Angeles radioed ahead to report an emergency and police boarded it after landing.

The kids — understood to be from well-heeled US families — were taken into custody, had mugshots and fingerprints taken, and told they could face jail sentences.

Their plans to attend summer camps across Europe were in tatters.

Cops revoked the teens’ Electronic Travel Authorisations, which had allowed them to visit the UK.

Virgin initially refused to fly the kids back after the chaos aboard Flight VS008 on July 14.

When bosses relented, they “took revenge” by sending them to various cities across the US and telling parents — some said to be sports stars — to collect them.

A source said the kids bought booze bef­ore the flight, then smuggled it on.

They added: “The posh kids couldn’t handle their booze.”
