Chrissy Teigen unleashed one of the worst tweet storms we’ve ever seen Tuesday night over her plane having to turn around.
Teign was on a plane from Los Angeles to Japan, but it didn’t go as planned. Apparently there was a passenger who wasn’t supposed to be on the plane and didn’t have a ticket to be there. Seems like a pretty reasonable reason to turn around. However, that really didn’t sit well with Teigen.
a flying first for me: 4 hours into an 11 hour flight and we are turning around because we have a passenger who isn’t supposed to be on this plane. Why…why do we all gotta go back, I do not know

This person is so lucky that we will all have to deplane. Imagine having to walk off alone. The shame!

I don’t know why I’m not more upset about this. The pleasure I get out of the story is worth more to me than a direct flight to Tokyo

I won’t be able to sleep until I know how this person figured out they were on the wrong flight. That’s all I ask. 150 people have been majorly inconvenienced, please, just tell me
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
Why did we all get punished for this one person’s mistake? Why not just land in Tokyo and send the other person back? How is this the better idea, you ask? We all have the same questions.

They keep saying the person had a United ticket. We are on ANA. So basically the boarding pass scanner is just a beedoop machine that makes beedoop noises that register to nowhere

LAX —> LAX flight complete. Flight time, 8 hours and 20 minutes.

There is a 20 minute interview before we can get off the plane!! This is my dream. Police! Talk to me talk to me
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
they put our plane in a secure area. We can’t be near the common folk 🙁

Still on the plane. Starting to get a little…as james franco in spring breakers would say… spicious
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
ok I’m officially ready to say something is up
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
Police were interviewing all the people seated around the mystery person once we got off the plane. Why would they do this! I MUST KNOW MORE
— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
no one will spill anything 🙁 I wish I had more for you guys. I wish I could be your snowden

*quits whatever my job is to devote my life to this likely very simple mistake*

I hate to sound like a buzzkill to all the fans of Teigen out there, but this is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. Has she not heard of 9/11? You don’t just keep flying when there is an unauthorized passenger onboard. Are you kidding me? There are children out there who know that.
Of course, this was almost certainly just done to get attention. Congratulations to her I guess. She got it. There might have been a serious situation unfolding, and Teigen thought the best thing to do was hop on Twitter. Seems totally reasonable and rational.
Too bad the feds didn’t jam communications on the plane. Would have saved all of us a lot trouble.
