Passengers Endure 7-Hour Ordeal on Plane with No AC, Food, or Water

The U.S. Department of Transportation is investigating a delayed United Airlines flight that was eventually canceled, leaving passengers stuck on the plane for seven hours without air conditioning, food, or water. Passengers, including elderly individuals, babies, and pregnant women, endured extreme heat and discomfort, with one person experiencing a panic attack and vomiting. Despite regulations requiring airlines to provide food and water within two hours of a tarmac delay, no provisions were made. United Airlines has not responded to inquiries about the incident or compensation for affected passengers.
