What quirk of nature caused only the reporter's aircraft to become heat
soaked while sitting in 100 degree weather?

The fact that the APU was malfunctioning, thus no cabin ventilation until
engine start-up, and that the very engine start-up which was instrumental
in preventing slowly boiling the passengers to perfection was delayed for
over two hours.

So, it wasn't simply a hot day, it was a very unprofeesional handling of a
problem with an airplane - by the airline, mind, it seems the crew did the
best they could.


Most newspapers don't give this much space to a bank robbery or a murder at
convenience store..

The newspaper could have at least posted a poll question to see if its
readers think sitting on a hot plane was:
A. uncomfortable
B. potentially dangerous
C. George Bush's fault.
