Delta Flight 958 carrying 235 passengers diverted to Albuquerque, New Mexico on September 9 after a smoky odor was detected aboard the aircraft flying from Los Angeles to New York. The plane landed safely with no fire or injuries reported, according to HollywoodLife. The passenger list included actors Andrew Garfield, Nick Robinson, and Owen Thiele, along with musician Mark Ambor.
Rather than a disaster, the nine-hour delay turned into an unexpected social event. OK Magazine reported that passengers befriended each other and spent time at local restaurants and entertainment venues before resuming their flight to New York.
A Celebrity-Filled Flight Gets Grounded
The smoky odor forced the emergency landing in Albuquerque around midday. Yahoo News reported that Andrew Garfield, known for his role in "The Amazing Spider-Man," was among those stranded. The aircraft had been heading to John F. Kennedy International Airport when the diversion was ordered.
No emergency was actually declared onboard. AOL noted the landing was precautionary, with no fire or injuries among the 235 people aboard. Delta worked to rebook passengers and arrange accommodations during the unexpected stop.
Owen Thiele Turns Diversion Into Instagram Gold
Actor and social media personality Owen Thiele documented the entire experience on Instagram. He posted a photo of a firefighter aboard the aircraft and asked followers for restaurant recommendations in Albuquerque. Thiele's posts showed passengers making the best of an awkward situation.
Thiele struck up friendships with other stranded travelers, including musician Mark Ambor, Duncan Joseph, Isabela Ferrer, and Ella D'Souza. The group of nine spent hours together at local spots, bonding over their shared unexpected adventure in New Mexico.
Hours of Entertainment and Dining Mishaps
The nine-hour layover gave passengers plenty of time to explore Albuquerque. Thiele's group headed to Dave & Buster's, where Thiele won a game of Pop-a-Shot. They also ordered food from P.F. Chang's to eat at the airport, though Thiele joked that the delivery turned out to be someone else's order.
Dylan Wrona, another passenger, also documented the delay on social media and later posed for a photo with Andrew Garfield as everyone prepared to reboard. AOL reported the group eventually returned to Delta Flight 958 and completed the journey to New York.
