Virgin Air leaves passengers on plane for hours, temps soar near 100 degree mark

Due to bad weather, Virgin Air was forced to make a detour. They landed the plane at appx. 8:20 pm, but the plane was unable to get to the jetway until many hours later. 
This writer is certain that Sir Richard was not amused.  The rule that went into effect in April of this year in the United States, prohibiting passengers from being left on the tarmac for more than three hours does not somehow apply to international flights. 


Breaking news addition to this story. The pilots are claiming that they were not allowed to the jetway until customs officials arrived. The pilots are stating that they were threatened with arrest if they did not comply.  I will keep all posted on this and add news as it breaks.
