Fainting. Noses bloodied from the heat. No air conditioning. No water. No escape.

A scene from "Cool Hand Luke", maybe? Did Luke get thrown in the box again? No, just Allegiant Air Flight 592, Las Vegas to Phoenix. But just like Luke, the passengers on this airline prison didn't let their circumstances get them down. Instead, they sang...and used some NSFW language.

With temperatures reaching 110 degrees, hungover, alcohol sweating out of their pores, the passengers sang along to R. Kelly's hit, "I Believe I Can Fly", which they eventually did.

But tsk-tsk, Allegiant Air. Forcing your passengers to stay on an airliner with no food, no water and no air? What we got here is a failure to communicate.
