Is this flight was finally landed in Boston and stay on ground more than 4hours before passengers could exit the plane?? If it's this one i was on board...

I think he said "WE SURRENDER!"

You mean they were throwing and crying because they were on an A380.

This tail camera is wicked! Wish all airliners had one, especially if you don't have a window seat.

@glogalswaze Well of course if they would have been on a boeing they would have not been throwing up hahaha embaressing guy!!

WOW, I'm glad I wasn't on this flight. My recent AF A380 flight's landing was a little turbulent and rough but was certainly very insignificant in comparison to what you guys endured!

I think when people saw flaps going up they thought "oh no here we go again bleeh "

@comradeboris im flying from washington dc to Paris and i have always wanted to fly in one of these, what airline were you flying?

[Exagerative]

Actually the French were crying because there was an American on board... And they are about to get a second flight to Canada. When the Americans boarded they were like :'( oh... My..... God... Sacred Bleu, I have never seen anyone so fat racist and rude.

Another version of the "Chicken Dance"!

fyi "ladies and gentlement, this is your chief purser, as you can clearly feel, there are a lot of dips at JFK airport in new york, as such our landing was not possible for the time being, that's why we're restarting our ascent, our captain will inform us of the situtation in a few minutes." Gotta love these events, since it means other cities get to see the A380!
