Comments by "Hugh Jorgan" (@HughJorgan1) on "Passengers stranded on runway in sub-zero temperatures for over 16 hours" video.

  1. Misleading and exaggerated story. And the two passengers with their sky-is-falling social media posts was laugh out loud. How do you "mismanage" an emergency following federal rules?! Yes, it was cold OUTSIDE.. but ABC tried hard to imply the passengers were suffering in "sub zero temperatures". And note how they say a "remote icy runway" a couple times... like that matters in a heated plane. And food and water "running low"? Give me a break. I'm not saying this wasn't brutal for the passengers. I was once stranded on a tarmac for 7 hours in Canada due to major storm. But free food and booze and a couple free movies and it was all good.

  2. No chance. They were treated well, in a warm plane, with lots of free food and drink. ABC and a few passengers are trying hard to make it appear they suffered in "sub zero temps on a remote icy runway with food and water running low". This is laugh-out-loud hyperbole and lies-by-omission. The airline appears to have done everything they could to expedite the situation. The can't control medical emergencies or International regulations for airports.

  3. 25 below celsius.. so 13 F. It was indeed cold outside, but not on the plane. The story tries hard to make people think the passengers were suffering in "sub zero temps on a remote icy runway". Fake news in every sense.

  4. They posted "25 F" in the vid....but this was yet another lie-by-omission and/or error from ABC on this story. It was about minus 25 C outside. (confirmed with a google search on the incident).

  5. I hope you didn't fall for the misleading subject line and story. The plane was comfortably heated.
