'Nightmare' flight: 47 fliers trapped overnight on regional jet

'Nightmare' flight: 47 fliers trapped overnight on regional jet - USATODAY.com: "The latest air-travel horror story comes to us from Minnesota, where 47 passengers (and three crewmembers) on a Continental Airlines regional flight spent nearly 14 hours in transit and were trapped in a six-hour ground delay on a 50-seat regional jet. The Minneapolis Star Tribune writes the stranded flight was 'complete with crying babies and the aroma of over-used toilets.'

Adding insult to injury is that the passengers had already been on the plane for more than two hours before the regional jet operating the Houston-to-Minneapolis/St. Paul flight diverted to Rochester, Minn."
