In the United States, passengers of ten flights spent 10 hours in aircraft on the runway

Passengers at once by Jetblue Airways were blocked in their planes on the take-off of the New York International Airport named after John F. Kennedy within 10 hours. The reason for the many hours of captivity was the miscalculation of operators and a breakdown of equipment, reports CBS .

At first, the normal operation of the airport was violated by strong wind, snow and ice. Dozens of flights were detained until the weather improved and completion of work on cleaning the runway. Then the Jetblue Airways flight operators decided that it would be better if they withdraw 10 aircraft of the company away from the airport and closer to travel to the runway. They hoped that as soon as the sky clears up and the snow would be removed, their aircraft would be the first to take the take -off in line. But during the towing of aircraft, some equipment of the airport was frozen towards concrete, and a dozen liners-liners fell into the "traffic jam", said Russian Ny .

As a result, the passengers were blocked in the cabin for 10 hours. Since for some reason the climatization systems did not work, terrible heat and stuffiness were installed inside the aircraft - the crew had to, in violation of the instructions, open the hatch to the street every 20 minutes. The situation was complicated by the fact that there were no normal food - passengers, including young children, had to interrupt with cookies, salted nuts and drinks. The toilets are clogged. As a result of all this, one of the passengers began a hysteria.

Only after the serious indignation of customers, the Jetblue Airways operators finally decided to evacuate passengers - the ramps were adjusted to the aircraft and the buses took the exhausted airline’s customers to the airport building.
