Woman goes berserk over missing flight from Hong Kong to San Francisco

[Catherine Vincent]

Good thing she wasn't in America or else they would have tasered her.

They never said who she was visiting in San Francisco. Was it her boyfriend?

1. Or a dying relative? Or a new grandbaby?

I hope we cut this woman some slack.

Can anyone speak Mandarin and tell us what she's crying?

If it's about something superficial, I'll eat some crow pie.

2. Maybe she's trying to meet up with Jack, Kate & the others...

to make her way back to the island...:evilgrin:

Oh, sorry, we weren't talking about last weeks "LOST?" ;)

In all seriousness, I can understand circumstances that would make a rational person react like this. I hope someone helps her get to her distination ASAP.

5. A rational person? Really?

I might agree with you if there wasn't another flight in 3 hours.

16. Ever tried to fly home in time to be with a loved one who is dying?

No way you can "rationalize" waiting three hours....

12. If that's the case, she need'nt worry, Ben will take care of it. :)

Or Ms. Hawkings.

3. Been there---done that.

4. I saw this earlier. Sorry, but

it seems like she was responsible for missing the flight. She's acting like a 2-year old throwing a tantrum.
And she did get another flight fairly quickly.

Translation?

17. That's how you handle an upset passenger

Let her bawl. No need for violence.
Wicked funny. :rofl:

[zagging]

6. I think I love her

13. Funniest post in weeks!

7. Yes, I've seen this condition before.

"Crazier than a shithouse rat", in medical parlance.

8. That was some serious drama right there...

10. She reminds me of that kid screaming at his computer on YouTube.

More and more people seem unable to control themselves in various ways these days. Perhaps this is nature's way of "thinning the herd"?

11. i could only listen to about 10 sec before i was frantically trying to disconnect

bummer for her...

14. I think it's an abuse of privacy by CNN to show that. Everyone is now making

fun of her and we don't know what proceded this or what it meant at the other end. I really think that everyone should be somewhat upset. It proves that the corporate networks are bringing down the bars. You dan't call that journalism. It's a rape of privacy. If she had caused harm, it would be different. It was an emotional moment for her and not the world's business.

15. I agree but she was in a public airport. nt
