We were forced to sit on the airplane for around 8 hours in St. Louis because the weather in Chicago prevented us from arriving. Of course thanks to United's insanely stupid idea to fly our pilot into a different airport and then trying to get him to our plane by bus caused us to leave 2 hours late. If we had left on time, we probably could have gotten into the aiport before it shut and then left for Japan late, but at least on the same day we were supposed to leave.
Of course, United insisted it was the fault of the weather we were late and it had nothing to do with them at all.
After we landed they hooked up a generator truck and serviced the bathrooms so we did have a few basic things. We didn't get any real food; they finall got a courtesy bus to the plane and those who wanted to leave were allowed to do so. Most of the shots were of the Air National Guard F-15s which are stationed there.
