Remember the JetBlue fiasco where passenger were stuck on the taxi-way for 5 hours waiting to take off? Thats nothing compared to the incident in Abu Dhabi. Imagine being stuck in a plane for more than a day. That was the nightmare travel scenario for passengers in Abu Dhabi trying to make it to San Francisco. Etihad Airways Flight 183 got stuck on the tarmac for over 12 hours after fog forced the temporary closure of Abu Dhabi Airport on Saturday. That, on top of the 16-hour flight to SFO, made for some very unhappy campers. All told, they spent more than 28 hours on the plane, reports CBS News San Francisco. The airline wouldnt allow passengers to get off, so some took to social media to vent that they were hungry, sleep deprived, and never flying with the airline again. As San Francisco International Airport awaited Flight 183s arrival, angry twitter posts were coming in by the hundreds.
