Passenger Tapes Awful Flight Conditions

Last week, 50 passengers on Comair Flight 5637 from JFK airport spent four hours on the tarmac. That wasn’t the worst part however. The air conditioning wasn’t working, and the plane grew hot to the point where it came to be a health risk.

David Ollila, a passenger aboard the flight, taped the situation, including a confrontation with the pilots, and a 4-month old baby being fanned by her mother as she grew increasingly uncomfortable. Ollila stated that airline employees need to be able to make intelligent decisions given individual situations, particularly when people’s (and infants’) health are at risk.
