    AIR NIGHTMARE: Chaos as Newark Flight Diverted

    Three hundred travelers started the summer with an airplane nightmare they will not soon forget.
    Hundreds of Newark-bound passengers sat for four hours on a tarmac in a stifling cabin after bad weather diverted their flight from London in Connecticut and union regulations grounded it there

    There really is no exuse for this....at the least the cabin doors should have been opened to allow fresh air to come in. Virgin should be fined to the fullest extent possible if possible for this.

    Unfortunately, the tarmac delay rules don't apply to international flights, so there won't be any fines.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
