Passengers on board a Delta flight that was diverted to a Portuguese island say they were stuck in a secluded part of the airport for 12 hours and had to beg for food, as representatives of the air…
saying they had a “reckless disregard for human life and well-being.”
“We were trying to reach out to Delta during this time, and ascertain what exactly was going on, to no avail,” said Asante-Smith, who was in Ghana with family and friends to celebrate her marriage. Video posted online showed a female staffer at the airport telling the passengers they should be grateful the plane did not crash.He was told in response that he and the other passengers could simply drink water from the bathroom faucets, Asante-Smith claimed, but none of them had cups and only a few had water bottles.
“Which is interesting, because anyone who is intimately familiar with West Africa or our Muslim brothers and sisters know that many people have dietary restrictions with eating pork,” she told Insider.She said some members of her travel group received messages from Delta airline representatives that seemed to be copied and pasted, while others were told a rescue plane was coming.
