Plane passengers panic and can’t breathe after plane’s AC malfunctions
Passengers struggled to breathe and suffered from panic attacks after their sweltering “sauna” plane was held for two hours before getting canceled entirely.
As a result, passengers were trapped in the veritable steam room with wings while crew members tried to fix the issue.“People were stuck on the plane and couldn’t leave,” lamented Warawalan Maksaen, 26, a student at the University of Exeter who was trapped aboard the plane. “We were hot and couldn’t breathe. At least in a sauna, you can leave when you want.
To make matters worse, no food or water was provided during this time, according to Maksaen. After two hours, a flight attendant provided water in the kitchen area and opened the door to let fresh air in.Unfortunately, no technicians were available due to the airport’s curfew, so the passengers had to deplane at 11 p.m. after needlessly being stuck aboard the scorching hot aircraft.
“There was no help from the airline, and the last group of passengers waited aimlessly until the last three buses arrived at 2 a.m.”
