Flight Delays Caused by Unclaimed Spills and Unruly Passengers
A Southwest Airlines flight was delayed from taking off until someone claimed and cleaned up a large amount of spilled rice in the aisle. The flight attendant eventually cleaned it up herself and scolded the passengers for not being raised right. Southwest did not deny the incident and stated that it's not unusual for a flight attendant to tidy the aircraft prior to departure. The incident was further delayed by a passenger who took advantage of the situation to use the bathroom. It's still unclear who spilled the rice.
