What’s the only thing worse than being delayed at the airport?
That’s right, being delayed on the plane.
A small cabin, stifling heat, a staff who won’t tell you what’s happening and a better chance of a pool in the dessert than of getting your hands on a glass of water.
There is that magic moment though, some hours in, when the tiredness, overheating, hunger and general misery begins to verge on complete madness, and all you can do is laugh. Or, in the case of these passengers, sing. This video was uploaded to YouTube on Sunday, and has since amassed almost 800,000 views. We can see why.
The description on the video reads:
6/9/13 from Vegas to Phoenix. Flight attendants leave us alone to our devices after 5 hours, 2 planes, no snacks, no water, no A/C. Two people passed out, two vomited and to avoid a mutiny, the passengers banded together in song.

Magic.
