Default Passengers Aboard Flight Delayed 18 Hours

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...layed_flight_1

You probably already have heard about that--people weren't allowed to leave
the plane for some 18 hours while numerous things kept proper procedures
delayed.

My question is: isn't this kidnapping? It seems it surely could be called
that. Another thing--I recently flew (I rarely do) and I was fortunate to be
seated next to the emergency exit. Couldn't someone have just opened that
and taken off? One thing is for sure--that is absolutely what I would have
done. It's ridiculous to think anyone is supposed to just sit there & wait
18 HOURS while they straighten out their own nonsense.

Comments?
