At least one Delta passenger was taken to the hospital for heat-related illness after the plane sat on the tarmac for hours in Las Vegas, where temperatures reached triple digits.
"Then we finally board and sit for almost 3 hours on a hot plane in 111-degree weather. Now we are heading back to the gate cause people are passing out. We are now being told you Can get off but there isn’t another flight out to ATL for days. This is actually nuts."“We apologize for the experience our customers had on flight 555 from Las Vegas to Atlanta on July 17, which ultimately resulted in a flight cancelation," the company said in a statement.
Another passenger, April Love, told ABC News, that customers were on the tarmac for about three hours and described passengers needing multiple gurneys and oxygen, as well as a flight attendant passing out.
