Well, Oh Yeah?


I’d be kinda ticked off myself, but I don’t think I’d spend 4 hours on the plane, refusing to come out, if it had to land in a different country.
So … let’s back up a little.
Ryanair had a bunch of French tourists on board, who were returning home after spending holidays in Morocco. The flight on Tuesday left 3 hours after its scheduled departure from Morocco, and by the time they approached Beauvais, which is near Paris, the airport had already closed.
Consequently, they diverted to Liege, Belgium. Well, the passengers were majorly ticked off and refused to deplane, even after all of the crew had left. This despite the fact that they had no water, and the toilets were locked.
Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
The 100+ French passengers eventually got off the plane (four hours later, remember?) and were put on buses that took them to their original destination.
Me? I would have gotten off long before that.
