The bizarre misconception caused emergency chute of Boeing 737-340 to be deployed instantly, resulting in a seven-hour delay in the flight.

All of the 37 passengers had to be removed from the plane as the flight had been postponed until the next morning at 5am.

“The plane was parked on the runway when the airbag chute opened, so there was no threat of any kind,” the statement said of the incident which is now under investigation.

The segment showed the reaction of people who were given refunds and refreshment vouchers as compensation for the flight delay.

When the legendary guy, sitting in the airport bar, was asked how he felt, he replied: “I’m pretty chilled out about this actually, I’ve had five pints of Guinness … and my wife’s just left me for another man, I can’t mention the name – oh Jacqui – I’m ever so sorry about that.”

He added: “So actually, the fact that there’s a four hour delay on a flight doesn’t bother me.”

Turns out, there do exist some people who can keep their cool despite facing hours of flight delay. To be honest, how do you expect a delay to bother someone whose wife has just left him for another man.
