some things you might just laugh at

A woman from Ferndale, Mich. is suing United Airlines after she was left alone on a plane for hours after it had landed.

Ginger McGuire was aboard a United Express flight from Washington, DC to Philadelphia. She says she fell asleep during the flight. It landed shortly after midnight Tuesday but no one woke her up until a cleaning crew found her four hours later.

United Airlines says they are working with a regional partner carrier to determine why the plane wasn't cleared upon landing.

McGuire told reporters, "I fell asleep on the plane and next thing you know I wake up, it's 4:00 in the morning. Nobody's on the plane. Nothing."

McGuire has hired Geoffrey Fieger who is filing a lawsuit for false imprisonment, emotional distress and negligence.



first off whats that like a hour flight how long did she think to sleep and she was trapped but don't all planes have "emergency exits" with a little "big" red handle to lift to open a hatch and who doesn't have a cell phone now days i mean she looks like shes what 30 something she has to have one sounds like someone trying is trying to get rich fast. if i was her i would color my hair before someone makes a blond joke out of her lol

The lady is seeking $75,000 in damages, that's $18,750 per hour, while sleeping, not bad money if you can get it.  I watched the interview.  She couldn't explain what her injuries/damages were and failed to take any of the blame.  Come on, take a free round trip from the airline and let it be.

She doesn't even deserve a free trip. Screw her, they should be counter sewing for her not having an alarm!
