Travel disruptions happen all the time... due to mechanical problems or weather. But rarely - if ever - for a reason like this. Passengers were left stranded at an airport for 17 long hours and forced to sleep on rows of cots. So... what caused the disruption? Two passengers were caught smoking in the bathroom!
