Frantic passengers call 911 after being stuck on runway for more than 6 hours

It seems like every day a new airline finds itself in hot water over its treatment of passengers. This time, it’s Air Transat that is in the spotlight after 2 of its planes were stuck at the Ottawa airport for hours, stranding hundreds of passengers on-board. Monday, Air Transat Flight 157, which originated in Brussels, was scheduled to arrive in Montreal at 3:15 pm, but was diverted to Ottawa due to weather conditions. The plane landed at Ottawa airport just after 5 pm and sat on the tarmac for a full 6 hours. During that time the flight lost power and reportedly failed to provide passengers with food and water for an extended period of time. Things got so bad aboard the grounded flight that one passenger called 911. <br/>
