Executive Summary

• Yesterday, a person was unable to strap a 23month-old child onto their lap prior to an aircraft's takeoff.
• This failure was probably due to i) the size of the child and ii) a large pregnant belly getting in the way.
• After a while, the aircraft returned to the gate and the person, their child and their belly were disembarked due to safety regs.
• The aircraft then continued on its way, arriving 1hr 9min after its STA.
• The person decided to make a big public fuss despite the events being of their own making.
• The fate (and indeed the general utility) of the nanny remains unknown.
• Err, that's it.
