A series of flight irregularities on British Airways "completely ruined" their Disney World vacation, a family whined. They were "shattered."

While understandably an irritating experience, this family is WAY over exaggerating their hardships. They were one of the lucky ones to receive a hotel room the second night. First World problems indeed.
And it looks like common core math was used in the stories. "Stranded for 90 hours" and "nearly three days after the flight was due to land" are mentioned in the first link. "70 hour delay" is mentioned in the second.
The flight was supposed to take off Thursday at 725 pm from Orlando and arrive in London about 7:45 am on Friday. It eventually arrived between 6 and 7 am (various sources) on Sunday, about 46+ hours behind schedule.
In other airline news, a Delta passenger says he had a choice of either sitting in a feces stained seat or missing his flight.
