(Des Moines, IA) — Passengers on a plane from North Carolina say they were allowed to get off for two hours after landing at Des Moines International Airport. W-H-O Television reports the plane from Charlotte touched down at 12:30 a-m Monday. An overnight snowfall was blamed for the delay. Passengers were getting frustrated saying their families were sitting in cars on a cold winter night while all were “held hostage by this ground crew.” Another passenger offered praise for staff members who passed out food and drink and helped those stuck on the plane get comfortable.
