  1. Sounds like attempted murder

  2. How much money are they really saving doing this? Air conditioners are stupidly efficient (as heat pumps generally are) and don't use all that much power on the ground.

  3. White people can't take the heat

  4. This air conditioning is making people weak

  5. 2 Peter chapter 3 tells you about heat

  6. Wow. Sitting in an airplane with no AC is like being an immigrant locked in a shipping container.
    Burn the jet fuel to run the AC! That's crazy.

  7. If I feel like I’m ready to pass out by the heat where im from which in comparison to this is absolutely nothing I would be done for In a triple digit 110 plus is rough af

  8. 1: Who's all time "record?" Temps were considerably hotter in the 1930s and 1850s. 2. WTH! Passengers are left sitting in a tin can in scorching summer heat for hours (with no aircon?)! Who does that? That's inhumane and a serious health threat to everyone on that plane. US airline services have REALLY gone down the toilet. They were BAD and entirely unacceptable the last time I flew in the US in 2010. Asians would NEVER put up with that horrible service,.everything from A to Z, really uncivilized. I refused ro ever fly on an American airline again. I fly with an Asian carrier direct to the nearest coastal city and rent a car. THAT'S actually faster and far more humane.

  9. Well thats real nice, the animals in a zoo get better service and care than paying passengers on Delta!!!

  10. Well humans, you had a good run. You don’t deserve this planet.

  11. Its the dessert… I mean 🤔

  12. Delta held people hostage in an oven!
    This company needs to be seized by the feds and have its assets sold.

  13. It is completely UNACCEPTABLE to keep people stuck on the tarmac causing heat stroke.

  14. I would on said bomb and see if it got me off faster. If my wife and kids were with me I’d open the emergency hatch if I had to.

  15. Airline should be sued . They are reckless and don’t give crap about travelers

  16. They apologized. Now get back to work. 😂😂😂 When will people learn.

  17. If somebody on there with Covid, that's even bad. Service them flights before they board passengers on them. Service those flights, check air conditioner in this Global Heatwave. I haven't stepped on a flight since 1988, and yes I'm way overdue for a flight to a long vacation outta the country. I have gotten tired of my American peoples, time for me to be around some foreigners who have no ideal of how bless they are to live on a island or a country full of wine, music, fashions, and fine dining, and seasoned men of 45 – 55, yes I did said that. I hope those passengers get well, and everyone stay hydrated, the entire earth is a heatwave, and full of unprecedented storms, stay cool.

  18. Dear god we are raising climate change to our self.

  19. Is this reporter a narrcisist or what? She announces her name at the start of news report and the end, just in case we forgot her name.

  20. DON'T THEY HAVE AC ON THE AIRPLANE

  21. Delta does not allow Flight attendants to unionize. They take full advantage of that and work their FAs to the brink of insanity. Eventually, it breaks you. So many are quitting.

  22. This should be ILLEGAL. You get the passengers back to the gate if you cannot take off.
