…After the plane has been stuck on the tarmac for five hours in sweltering heat with no air conditioning for the passengers held trapped inside the plane. The conditions onboard had become downright dangerous to human life. Other passengers even defended his actions afterwards.
Using misleading out of context titles like that in journalism should result in a hefty fine.
Very contrasting story with this incident at Toronto Pearson. Initially I thought it was just a rerun of this.
The Aeromexico flight, scheduled to depart at 8:30 am, sat sweltering on the tarmac for over three hours with no air conditioning or water for passengers
Mexico City had a low of 59 F and a high of 68 that day. Using this site a car interior at 65 degrees would get to about 110 F in 3 hours. A plane full of people may have gotten even hotter.
Yeah, fuck that. I’d have been cheering that guy on.
I doubt airplanes heat up as much or more than cars, the window to fuselage/coachwork ratio is different. (still: must’ve been hot since someone felt it urgent enough to open an emergency exit, and others defended the action.)
The headline should read: “Airline abandons planeload of passengers in the heat - Hero rescues all with quick thinking”
