Here's what people deem important to talk about while in the airport and on the plane.  It's like a play-by-play:

I'm in the airport.
I just checked in.
We're just about to board.
I'm on the plane.
We're sitting on the runway.
Our flight is delayed.
We just landed.
We're taxiing to the terminal.
I just got off the plane.
I'm in the terminal.
I just got my bag from the carousel.

This stuff wouldn't be that big of a deal, except for the fact that there are about 65 million people in any given airport, and about 99.4875% of these people have cell phones.  More people around the country knew about my flight being delayed than were on the actual plane that was delayed. #technology
