Aaron, how did you manage not to explode with no entertainment that entire time? I'd've been screaming by hour six. Anyway, glad you got home safely. My favorite is the pilot’s name.

I thought my 17 hours from Palermo to New York were bad. That's terrible. I'm hoping things won't be this way for long... I have a feeling anybody who doesn't already HAVE to get in or out of the country won't be traveling to or from the UK anytime soon... in the short run, it won't matter, everyone who already has plans to travel there will... but once those people run out, I'm nervous about what this will do to the economy. No more tourism, and people who have to travel for business are in quite a jam. Oh wow. I thought my 17 hours from Palermo to New York were bad. That’s terrible.

That's, sadly, not unbelievable, but still astonishing. I think my favorite part is the very British "We have no further information for you" -- you know an American captain would've been like, "Hey, folks, thanks for flying our airline; looks like we've got a small problem across the pond in terms of us landing there, so we're gonna need to wait for clearance. It's a lovely day in D.C.; high around 78, low about 65. Windspeed 10 miles an hour from the northwest. We'll let you know the moment we've got new information. Thank you for your patience, ladies and gents." Sweet Jesus. That’s, sadly, not unbelievable, but still astonishing.
