The Gods must be crazy



They start boarding the plane to Newark about 15 mts. late, which is nothing out of the ordinary. Once we get on the plane, the pilot informs us that Newark is busy and he's been instructed to wait for 30 mts. That doesn't happen with every single flight, but it is not out of the realm of the ordinary, albeit a little bit of a rare occurance. After the 30-minute wait, we are taxied as promised, and we get onto the runway, and the engines start humming. And then, they die. Apparently, Newark is facing very high traffic and has asked us to wait another hour. So then we wait for an hour ON THE RUNWAY! That, my friends, is pretty unusual.
