It could have been worse. She could have slept until some other passenger wanted her seat for the next flight. Or if the plane was lightly loaded she could have woken up halfway to somewhere else.

Seems a little fishy.

Ms Adams said on Facebook that she woke up "around midnight [a few hours after the flight landed] freezing cold still trapped in my seat in complete darkness."
Trapped? She had her seatbelt on. Freezing cold? It's June.

I have found that the deboarding process is pretty noisy. People are getting stuff out of the overhead storage and talking while standing in the aisle. You would have to be a pretty sound sleeper to not wake up during that. Did she take a sleeping pill? Anti nausea pills will make you sleepy as well. Doesn't seem like we are getting the whole story here.

Women??????? My mother tells me it's freezing whenever I move her air conditioning slightly below eighty degrees fahrenheit. LOL I'm sweating my you know whats off.



I think I might be traumatized if I ever get a good night's sleep too. LOL Having a whole airplane to myself sounds like a dream come true.

Not just women. As I approach 70 I notice that the 75 degrees I used to keep the apartment at sometimes leaves my legs feeling cold. On the other hand letting it get above 80 plays hell with my computer cooling.

Something that only occurred to me now is the question of how she got off the plane. Are the jetways hooked up and open when everything is shut down? That makes me wonder what would happen if she was at a small airport in Alaska, with air stairs instead of jetways, and it gets really cold?

In the Holy Loch, Deck Division accidentally left a guy out overnight on a work boat moored at a buoy. They figured it out at roll call the next morning. He looked pretty darn cold when they brought him in. He'd taken his socks off his feet and had them on his hands. Thank God for a stash of Kapoks I suppose. No repercussions for anyone in charge, and that kind of thing is why I left the Navy.
