Horrible flight delay on video (complete with screaming baby)

I think that everyone can identify with this video documenting a plane stuck on the JFK tarmac for seven hours. Just watching it makes my blood boil. There are great captions offering commentary on what is ACTUALLY going on (as opposed to what the captain is telling the passengers) and cutting to this passenger’s wife and crew. I originally found this video on a recent blog post from The Consumerist.

  1. Oh the memories. I’ve never been on the tarmac that long, or for that many excuses, but I can sympathize. I’m used to 12 1/2 hour flights when I fly, so any delay whatsoever is mind numbing. Thanks for the post.
