  1. NBC can you imagine the struggles the migrants are experiencing trying to make it to biden open border? Must be horrible, Dont you think? Interesting that you have report on how difficult it was for one of your censored reporters to get home, but nothing on the border. Are you trying to suppress this disaster?

  2. Success is not built on success. It's built on failure, It's built on fraustration. it's built on fear that you have to overcome. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

  3. In some countries, you can just take an Uber for a four hour journey, I guess that is not option in the US,

  4. I can't believe you thought taking someones car 5 hours away and leaving it was the right thing to do. You put them in a bad predicament for your own personal needs. You could have waited at their house a couple more days will it all straightened out or took an uber at whatever cost it would be. Let us know how they get their car back or if they get it back. You probably won't be welcome back anytime soon. Oh yeah, anyone seen Sam brinton anywhere in the luggage area?

  5. Southwest is never going to recover from this
    Months from now nobody is going to fly southwest anywhere

  6. END OF THE WORLD FINAL EVENTS PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD

  7. Petey failing miserably again

  8. You fly the worst rated airline you take the risk they are gonna abandon you

  9. Romo ❤❤ must have been a tough childhood 😂😂

  10. Omg. He hasn't been able to shave! No time in history has a person had to suffer this much.

  11. We seriously need more train transport in this country for times like this

  12. It’s not a glitch that it let you book that rental car. They deliberately over book to ensure they’re sold out and maximizing profits. I worked at a rental car call center and regularly had to take the brunt of customer frustration when they did this.

  13. Trains need to be brought back

  14. The weather is too bad to fly folks

  15. Too much Pizza will give you Chronic Constipation

  16. I guess it's not too bad that I have been celebrating Christmas alone, no traveling or bad weather involved. Instead I enjoyed going to the movies on Christmas day, this time I watched Babylon ☺️ I travel in May/ Jun/ September around the world

  17. Far too good looking to have a husband 😏.. wat a waste

  18. Who cares stay home next Christmas

  19. U.S. needs to build high speed train system to compete with the airlines. When the airline industry has no competition in long distance traveling, it slacks off on investments in operational infrastructures, I.e. booking and communication systems….. Just because this time it happened to southwest, it doesn’t mean that it won happen to other airlines.

  20. Let's double check his husband is ok with all of this.

  21. 3:15+ "you are so good at keeping composure" soon it will be impossible to fly harder to get imports the climate is destroyed it is our fault are these guys just extremely stupid? Soon almost nobody will be able to fly anywhere in the summer too.

  22. This is so wild that the employees are like supposed to be on holiday but documenting their experiences

  23. Hey I have a great idea, the news just said we are going to have not just a big storm this year, but one of the biggest storms ever. Lets go fly in it and if we get stuck we will blame everyone else.

  24. The doing guy this story is a clown yeah lets start the witch hunt. I understand it's a story but we should be talking about homeless people starving dying in the frigid temps. But it's never about those that really suffer it about entitled people like this clown because he didn't get what he wanted. Missing a plane sucks but it's not what's important eventually you will get home.

  25. Amtrak should be other option

  26. where they are going ? Florida or some tropical island.

  27. They could either be on the news complaining about the airline or their families could be on the news crying about the plane crash they were involved in because they decided that wherever they needed to go was more important than safety🤷🏽‍♀️

  28. Amazing video and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy 😊I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $9,000 investment every 21days.

  29. What's more frustrating is people not thinking this will happen during holidays. Smdh.

  30. Seriously? On one leg, the news reports "the worst blizzard", with an end tail of "cannot travel".
