4-Hour Flight Becomes 16, Passengers Sent Back To Departure [Airlines]

 

A four-hour flight from Mexico to Seattle turned into a 16-hour ordeal after intense fog caused the flight to be rerouted to Portland.

There, the passengers sat on the tarmac for over four hours because there were not enough customs agents to process their entry. Some of the travelers became so angry that the police boarded the plane and told everyone they had two choices: stay on the plane, or get arrested. Eventually, the plane ended up getting sent back to Mexico, with the original passengers still on it. How about that Passenger's Bill of Rights, eh?
