You know what makes this bizarre? It's now considered normal.
High winds divert flight from destination
Passengers trapped in plane for 7 hours
Food rationed to four chips, half a cup of water
Passenger posted crew meltdown on Twitter
PASSENGERS were forced to ration food after what was supposed to be a direct flight from LA to New York turned into a 16-hour nightmare.
Before finally arriving at their destination, the starving passengers of Virgin America Flight 404 had been stranded on a tarmac for seven hours and forced to ride a bus for another two-and-a-half hours.
The New York Post reported that food supplies aboard the plane were so low at one point Pringles chips had to be rationed: four chips apiece.
"That's all we got - four chips and half a cup of water," said Justin Gordon, 23.
Because of 60-mph winds in New York, the plane was forced to circle JFK until it was finally diverted to Stewart Airport in Newburgh, 90 miles (144km) north of New York.
..There, the plane remained on the tarmac until almost midnight, passengers said. The airline said the wait was more like four-and-a-half hours.
