It wasn’t exactly welcome news.
The flight they’d booked wouldn’t be leaving on time Monday night. The passengers had already been passing time at their departure gate with a little informal singalong, Canada’s Global News reports, but then, they had also expected to be leaving soon — until they found out that, rather than stepping on the plane right away to leave Toronto for Newfoundland and Labrador, they were now destined instead to kill some more time.
So, the passengers did as any disgruntled travelers would do: The big group of strangers got out the accordion and guitar.
“Well, with that, everyone cheered and they said, ‘All right, let’s go again!’ and we just started again,” passenger Michelle Sacrey Philpott told the Global News.
