       @StillIRise1963 I remember a guy I worked with back in 2004ish, the same thing happened to him. I believe it was even longer, like 13 hours. I'd be out of my mind crazy. I'm a little claustrophobic. I'd have been nuts after hour 2

       @Mary625 When my twins were babies, it happened to me for 4 hours. One threw up on me and while I had other clothes for them, I didn't have any for me. We missed the connecting flight and they rerouted us in a way that made me disembark with them unnecessarily. When we reached our destination and my friend, I cried while she laughed at me.😃

       @StillIRise1963 Awe! That's TERRIBLE! I'm so sorry.  I would have been sobbing.The only thing I have that's close to that, personally, was in January 2005, the plane I was on, from Chicago to DC, with my Mom and sister to go to the protest of Dubya's inauguration, was arrested. We were first kept on the runway for hours while the Chicago police, TSA and FBI were on and off the plane. Then we were kept at the gate, guarded by Chicago cops and K9 units for a few more hours.

       @StillIRise1963 I smoked at the time. I asked one of the cops, "so what would you do if I just left to have a smoke?" He said, very matter of factly, "shoot you."

       @StillIRise1963 Yep, actually said that to me. I was a defiant little shit. I almost walked out. But my Mom stopped me 😂

       @Mary625 🤣 You know what's funny, I was going to say something about the balls of youth, but I now realize that this older age is like that too.🤔

       @StillIRise1963 I think youth gives you a feeling of invincibility. But the older we get, the less we care if we're invincible or not 😁
