Seven-hour Delta delay posted on YouTube

June 28, 2007

Have to give Kev at Travolution a link for pointing us to this astonishing video.

It's a seven-hour wait on the tarmac, courtesy of Delta Airlines and New York JFK, captured and edited down to seven minutes by a disgruntled passenger.

As Kev observes, this is more evidence of the potential power of user-generated content. It will be interesting to see if Delta responds.

UPDATE: Bill Geist has responded to the video with the tenth of his Air Laws series. Good stuff.

UPDATE 2: Some prize wit has left this comment on Youtube: "DELTA stands for Doesn't Ever Leave The Airport!" Can't see anything from the airline though.
