Setting a New Precedent

I can't imagine being trapped on an airplane for more than one hour let alone seven.

Well, I just read about a Middle East airline on it's way to Beirut that was grounded for that much time and the passengers revolted. 

Could you imagine, stuffy air, no liquid to drink, no food, and the pressure of remaining in your "cubbyhole" seat for hours on end while who knows tries to figure out what happened. It's like trying to find that lost letter in the post office network!

Nerve wracking, as webster's puts it. Read about it here Passengers Stage Mutiny.
