Flight from hell

so heres a good story. I had a wonderful time in florida, which was then ruined by my flight home. I was supposed to leave fort lauderdale at 825, and get to detroit at 1125. The plane was delayed until 845, no big deal, so we get on, and I have an isle seat in the back, It tunrs out we are waiting for some people from another plane. Well a man with a family comes on screaming that he will never fly spirit again, and yelling that they told him there is no room. Of course his seat was behind me in the back, and the rest of his family a few infront. He is now shouting and violently opening every over head bin and telling the whole plane that there is room. Hes putting his carry on away, and making a big scene.
The flight attendants asked him to calm down, but he wouldnt. so they made the decision to call the security. Now the security comes on board, and they get to his wife and kids first, and ask them to get off the plane. so the man gets up from the back to see whats happening. He says they are not leaving! the security says: this can be the easy way or the hard way. walk off like a man. the man says, im not leaving! and turns around to walk back, this is when the security grabs him and now they are fighting in the isle! Also backup was called, so they are all fighting, he is still resisting and yelling, falling into the rows, I inched closer to the middle seat. Now the wife is yelling they are not leaving! and passengers are getting involved, children are screaming, I couldnt believe my eyes. Finally they were able to drag him off. The whole thing seemed to be handled unprofessionaly, and then the security told us he will be going to jail.
Now we have to wait for them to get off all the overhead luggage that he scattered everywhere, and his luggage under the plane. Then another couple wouldnt stay quiet and they were asked to leave. One man then kept yelling, and the security told him infront od the whole plane, shut the fuck up, or youll be next. After all this, they realized that the man had gone to the bathroom, and that was a security threat, so they had to have someone come check it out. We sat on the plane for 2.5 hours!!!!! During this time, I was making a hundred calls to my friend in windsor who was going to pick me up, I told her to forget it, its too late. Then I was begging the shuttle that goes over the boarder to windsor, to wait for me. they said they would wait until 2am, and not a minute more, supposed to leave at 145.

The only good thing was that I was reading a great book! the sequel to twilight! i only got off the plane at 2. before we took off, I stood up and said: excuse me, is anyone going to windsor? no one was. But one very nice lady offered me to stay at her house in Detroit! So the airport started to empty out, and |I got nervous, didnt know where to go, and finally found a taxi, we made a flat rate of 68 US, and I arrived home at 3am. The worst part was, I packed my bag so heavy, thinking my strong friend was going to carry it up, so now I had to carry it stair by stair, I thought I was going to die! She did go into work for me the next day though!! I got into bed, wide awake, and read my book until 410!

OMG what an ordeal!!! That's crazy. At least you made it back safely and you had a really good book to read. I would have been freaking out.
