EasyJet passengers live-tweet flight delayed due to 'verbal disagreement' among crew

LONDON -- Flight delays aren't an uncommon thing. Mechanical issues, bad weather, a queue of planes waiting to land -- all of these issues crop up every now and again.

But a flight that gets delayed due to two crew members having a falling out before the aircraft's even taken off? That's a bit less common.

On Wednesday, easyJet flight EZY835 from London Gatwick to Belfast was about 90 minutes late after a "verbal disagreement" took place between two crew members. The plane had to return to its gate, the crew members in question were replaced and for a while there was widespread confusion among the people on board.

Some passengers decided to pass the time on Twitter.

Dan Lobb wasn't the only one tweeting about the flight, either. Electronic music band Disclosure were also on board and from the sounds of it they weren't best pleased.
