22 h. ago Someone called police to Toronto airport for passengers losing it over cancelled flights

Toronto Pearson International Airport devolved into mayhem this week, somehow less so because of the Delta plane crash that saw an aircraft unbelievably flip over and burst into flames on the runway, and more so because of resulting flight cancellations and irate passengers.The hub was left operating in a limited capacity in the aftermath of the accident, with two closed runways and a growing backlog of delayed and cancelled flights just days after severe winter storms, to boot.While there is nary a person who would take the news of a flight disruption well, one might imagine that under the circumstances, hiccups were to be expected, and thus a little more forgivable.Issues with those who had booked with one airline in particular, though, ended up causing such a stir that 911 was called on Wednesday morning.On Monday, the Canadian carrier — known for its vacation packages to tropical getaways — advised travellers that all...
