In an apparent contest with Singapore Airlines to see who is the ultimate archenemy of the environment, American Airlines is under fire from the eco-group "Friends of Earth" for apparently flying a Boeing 777 from Chicago to London Heathrow with only 5 passengers on board. The "eco-scandal" as FOE calls it, was due to an earlier cancellation with all but the five remaining passengers being able to make other accommodations. The "obscene waste of fuel" was estimated to have created 43 tons of CO2 per passengers. American Airlines' response? "Die you miserable planet!!"
I hope they got upgraded to First Class.
