was discovered that one of the pilots had taken off
without his passport. So they left LAX at two o'clock
on Saturday. They had two hunred and fifty seven passengers
on board, thirteen crew as well, headed northwest over the
(00:31):
Pacific Ocean down for Shanghai. About two hours later, the
plane turned around, headed to San Francisco, landed about five pm,
and because he didn't have his passport, they had to
change the entire crew to find the crew, changed the
entire crew, and they.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Said that there was technical problems. The crew technical problems.

And what they had to do was then put everyone
back on the plane and then send them across.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Because he forgot his passport.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Couldn't he just fly the plane, touchdown, to stay in
the plane, to get out and then fly back.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
No, because he's technically.
