Frenchy Protest Going Nowhere.

BRUSSELS (AFP) – More than 100 angry Ryanair passengers sat in a dark cabin without food or water for four hours Wednesday, refusing to leave their plane after it was diverted to Belgium, authorities and passengers said.

The passengers, mostly French tourists who were supposed to land near Paris after returning from holidays in Morocco, refused to come out of the aircraft even after the crew had left it at the Liege airport in southern Belgium.

Reda Yahiyaoui, a business owner who was travelling with his wife, a two-month-old baby and a three-year-old, said the passengers had no water and the toilets in the plane were locked.

I really don't know what they were trying to accomplish.

Hm.  That's an odd name for a Frenchman.

I had no idea what was going on here, so I read the story.  What a bunch of freaks.  Let them sit there  in misery and discomfort, the idiots.  Who cares.  This is a case where stupid really is painful.

Damn fools, eh?  This is the epitome of cutting your nose off to spite your face.
