ATL POWER OUTAGE

[MQAAord]

Non revved through ATL yesterday with the family. Made the smart choice to split up. We got out of town about 10am. The gods were smiling on us!

We've split many times when non-reving, and it has ALWAYS turned out to be the right thing to do. "Party of 4, Smith? Will you split?" "Hell yes, ma'am."

Clearly this only happened cuz of the "liberal" infrastructure. That's the obvious reason that makes any sort of logical sense.

You just wish you had connections too.

Don't forget some of these to go along with it:

Can IROP beer be negotiated into a union contract? Asking for a friend.

Too funny not to share...

You need to get the time on he bottom line right. Then it’d be even funnier.

Even better is that the eldest, at 17 can go by himself. When he turns 18 in May, he can even take his younger siblings with him. Party of six is now 3 parties of two.

Wasn't me. Just came across my feed.

Another example of liberal runs cities and their terrible infrastracture.

Stupidest post ever. Good luck to whoever hires this idiot troll.

And by the time it's reached arbitration, the young'uns on here are old enough to drink...

No one died... its just hilariously amazing how a small electrical fire can bring the worlds busiest airport to it's knees.

The interviews with pax, you would have thought how 6 hours with no power was some sort of Armageddon.

Some of the interviews with people who had no idea what to do or how to pass time now that their phones or laptops died out. It was the end of the world for some of these people.

Now knowing some of the vulnerabilities that have been advertised, and how people were stranded in one singular location en masse, probably gave some terrorists or mass killers some ideas.

So, will there be fines for those tarmac delays? Over 50 flights were over 3 hrs. Some over 6 hours. FAA gonna let this slide? Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk

OMG people might ACTUALLY have to talk to each other since they can't bury themselves in their phones! This is crazy!!!!

You can learn a heck of a lot about a person (or several) in 6 hours!

I'm bringing at least 1 deck of cards from now on.

Dude, always pack a deck of cards and at least one condom.

no. 1. out of airline's control 2. clock stops when flights request 'priority return' to gate.

Honestly that does sound like hell.

I loathe working this time of the year because I always think I'm one mistake away from being on heavily edited YouTube video giving someone the boot off my aircraft for poor behavior.

"Sir I just wanted a drink of water"

"Five minutes ago you had my cabin crewmember in a stranglehold screaming like Conan, oh whatever, GTFO my airplane"

The clock doesn't stop until the plane is parked back at a gate or egress has been offered via airstairs. Simply requesting a priority return doesn't cut it.

I think it sounds wonderful. 6 hours with no technology, and lots of people to talk to... sign me up now!

EDIT: Also for the entertainment value it’d be fun to just sit back and people-watch

1. Seen in the ATL terminals

2. Seattle after news broke
