Southwest flight delayed; spilled rice to blame
Most probably wouldn't expect a flight to be delayed over spilled rice, but that was exactly what happened to a group of passengers onboard a Southwest flight from Georgia. The flight was delayed after a frustrated flight attendant demanded passengers clean up spilled rice from the middle of the aisle. The flight attendant asked passengers who spilled the rice, and urged them to clean it, saying they would not leave the gate until someone removed the rice.
