Last week, Piers Morgan. who is Larry King’s replacement on CNN, and a judge on the TV talent competition, America’s Got Talent, used his Twitter account to blast Delta Airlines when his flight encountered weather delays. Yes. Delta is a huge company, but Mother Nature still has more power!
This is just a few of Morgan's 43 tweets:
“Delta, what the **** is going on” and “Delta stands for don’t ever leave the airport.”Continued with…
"My plane was 50 mins away from landing in Minneapolis for AGT auditions today, when it turned round and is now heading BACK to NY."
"I will now be landing back in New York an hour before I’m supposed to start judging AGT auditions in Minneapolis. Thanks Delta."Then this…
"Pilot: ‘Good news is we’ll be on the ground in about 25 mins.’ Yes, but it’s the wrong ground, isn’t it my friend? The WRONG BLOODY GROUND."Things started looking up…
"On a positive note, I’m back in the Delta lounge I was first in at 6am, and they changed the cheese from Philadelphia to Chedda. #smallmercy"Until…
"On tarmac again. Come on Delta, you can do it. TAKE OFF and STAY OFF."Then…
"Still on tarmac. Not moving. Ominous."And…
"Flight attendant just smiled, then whispered to me: ‘Not looking good.’ #mixedmessage"And finally…
"We are ‘de-planing’ – everyone off. What an absolute bloody joke. Be ashamed Delta. This is shocking even by your standards. And you can all relax at Delta now because the gates of Hades will freezeth over before I darken your pitifully incompetent doors again."Oh my. Morgan had a rough flight, but was Delta really to blame? Did they warrant this rant? I don't think so, but to make matters worse, Morgan's flight from New York had mechanical problems.
Aww, celebrity tweets.
