United accused of trapping passengers for 7 hours in "unbearable heat" with no water, food or air conditioning

Agreed. From the article:

Ieronimo said she watched elderly people sweat, a baby was crying, and a young girl almost passed out.

“She must have had a panic attack. And she was vomiting,” said Ieronimo.

If someone’s throwing up from the heat, I’d be worried they were suffering from heat exhaustion or heat stroke. IMO that qualifies as a 911-worthy situation.
