Penelope Cruz Loses Control On Flight

Huffington Post Entertainment | June 29, 2007

Penelope Cruz had a panic attack onboard a Continental flight from
Newark to Barcelona Thursday night. Cruz, who appeared to be traveling
alone, was in first class and became agitated after the plane left the
gate. After she spoke with the cockpit, the plane returned to the gate
and Cruz deplaned. A fellow passenger told Huffington Post, "She was
freaking out and refused to fly." In the process of Cruz deplaning,
the flight removed all the bags, which then sat in the rain to the
consternation of fellow passengers, so that the airline could locate
her luggage.

The status on Continental's website of Flight 120 shows that the
airplane returned to the gate in Newark before taking off almost two
hours late, at 8:52 pm for a 7:10 pm departure.

Continental spokesman Dave Messing had no additional comment.

Cruz's publicist Carrie Gordon insisted to Huffington Post all is
fine, saying, "There was no panic attack. The airline let her know
there was going to be a 3 or 4 hour delay due to the storm. She had
work so she figured she'd deplane and fly when the storm passed."

The Oscar nominee is scheduled to shoot a Woody Allen film in
Barcelona.

This is not the first time Cruz has had a air scare. Last year she
told Marie Claire about an emergency landing a plane made in 2004 with
friend Salma Hayek:

----------------------------------
It was Halloween, and the two were en route to Mexico, where their
upcoming film, Bandidas, was shot. Evidently, the two friends wanted
to get a jump on the holiday. "There we were with these horrible clown
wigs on -- and all of a sudden, we had to make an emergency landing,"
Cruz says, describing, among other things, an alarming drop in cabin
pressure and the deployment of the oxygen masks. "I couldn't believe
it, that this was the end. With Salma and me in Halloween costumes! I
thought, This is such a weird way to die!" Cruz lets the memory wash
over her, shaking her head with both glee and disbelief. "After we
landed I had a huge, hysterical crying attack, and all Salma said was,
'Where's the bar?' Now we laugh about it, because we are so happy to
be alive."

Since when are airlines coming back to the gate to let people out.
Didnt I just read a story about a 25 hour flight from Florida to NY?
I bet those people had the same chance to get off too...

You beat me to it! SOP for airlines is to sit on the tarmac...period.
Since when do planes return to the gate for the convenience of one
passenger?

They're landing left and right, apparently:

Flight Forced To Make Unscheduled Landing Over Apple Juice

A Delta Connection flight from LaGuardia to Greensboro, NC was forced
to make an unscheduled stop at Philadelphia International Airport
Tuesday after a passenger got upset because his apple juice was too
slow in coming.

Around 5:00 pm, an altercation occurred between a male passenger,
complaining about slow service, and the flight attendant who was
preparing the drink, according to Fox News.

The juice was reportedly requested for a crying child and the man
"used profanity" and "threw the drink in an angry outburst" causing
the flight attendant to feel threatened, according to Philadelphia CBS
3.

The passenger caused a big enough ruckus that the pilot chose to err
on the side of caution and land at PHL to make sure the passenger
sufficiently calmed down.

"The people I've talked to described it as a minor disturbance," said
Jerri Williams, a spokesperson for the Philadelphia FBI division.

Williams told Fox News she didn't anticipate any arrests in the
incident, but the station manager for Delta at Piedmont Triad
International Airport, Tom Marzouk, told the News and Times that one
person had been arrested.

The incident caused about 48 passengers to stay overnight in
Philadelphia and sent Delta officials scrambling to rebook flights,
according to Philadelphia CBS 3.

There's a simple explanation. She needed Apple Juice.

If you make a scene and threaten the crew they'll let you off. ; )
Otherwise, you're screwed.

I make a point of never, ever, flying thru O'Hare since I got stuck on the
tarmac for 4 and 6 hours on two different flights. The first one I could
buy because it was really stormy. The excuse for the second was bad
weather on a bright sunny day.

Passengers who are rich or famous have special rights that other normal people
do not have.
