Olympic hockey final forced Air Canada to delay flight

The flight was delayed (article doesn't say how long) as passengers were too busy watching the game to heed calls to board.

To be fair, it was a very exciting game.

I guess it would have been delayed longer by the extra time, but I’m sure a few flights were delayed that day.

It wasnt the passengers. All the crew were watching as well.

I flew out of AKL on NZ the night the All Blacks played Australia.....

..we left a bit late too.... conveniently not long after the game finished..

I suppose a distracted pilot is just as bad as a distracted driver on the roads.
