Wow.

Passengers on plane from India to Birmingham forced into £20k whip-round for fuel after they’re told ‘pay up or you won’t get home’

Let me translate that from Brit-gibberish into good ol’ American:

Passengers, who had already paid their tickets for a flight from India to England, were forced to come up with £20,000 in cash in Vienna because their airline had not paid its bills. Without the cash, their 757 would not have been able to  get the fuel it needed. So the passengers were escorted off the plane into the airport to the nearby ATM’s to withdraw cash to pay up.

That’s a paddlin’.

  1. I’d’ve stayed in Vienna.

  2. And if the people had been smart they would’ve went to another airline!

    A paddlin’ (a good one!) for stupidity!
