The incident , however , was quite strange .
" I have been at the drome for 12 hours because my flight was grounded , " translate the overtext in the first video announcing the news . " Because the lady next to me had such an unspeakable case of plant louse that we had to land in Phoenix , Arizona . "
Per their story , the poster had on phone when the crew denote without account that the flight had to deviate . Once the plane emergency landed in Phoenix , the notice notice the woman across the aisle from them standing up quickly and head toward the plane ’s departure . The day after , they ’d learn from the two girls sitting beside her that the charwoman in doubt was the louse immune carrier .
" Those two girls look bugs creep out of the woman ’s hair , " the poster says in the explainer telecasting . " And alert the flight concomitant , and they had to ground the plane . "
If you ’re thinking , " Yikes , " that ’s the right response , but the nightmare does n’t cease there . Reportedly , after spending 12 hours at the airdrome overnight , passengers were welcomed aboard the plane again the next day , but the two whistleblowers were somehow assigned the same posterior they were in the previous day .
" They start bawling , they ’re like , ' We ’re not sitting in these seats , there were bug crawling out of this womanhood ’s hair . ' " tell the post-horse . " I do n’t know how they managed , but they just sat someone else in those seats . " consort to the bill , the new seat - taker did not " know what was going on . " duple yikes .
How did the airline business rationalize for the inconvenience ? With a voucher and a bite . " But I got $ 12 and a little protein taproom so who ’s the literal winner ? " asks the post horse , sarcastically , at the ending of the TV . " It ’s me . I got to go to Phoenix . "
