"what happened?"

It's not just Murphy, this is a common question of many passengers on the plane. Since the incident happened just now, Kara Firth only heard that someone occupied the runway of London City Airport, so it is not clear what happened.

Murphy wanted to see exactly what happened, but due to the angle of the plane, he could only see the terminal building from the window on his side, so he was confused when he asked the people on the other side.

Twenty minutes later, the flight was still not ready to take off. An older flight attendant, who seemed to be a flight attendant or something, came to the first-class cabin instead and gave a simple explanation to the passengers here. It's also an apology.

"I'm very sorry, this flight is going to be delayed."

Whether it was due to his own reasons or not, the attitude of the flight attendant seemed very good, "The runway at the airport was occupied by some protesters in an organized way. At present, there is a confrontation with the police. We will not be able to take off in a short time..."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the first-class cabin.

"We have reported the situation to the company, and Midland will provide everyone with a chance to ride for free next time." The flight attendant calmly said, "If the stay is too long, Midland will also provide free food for all distinguished guests. accommodation..."

Midland's attitude and service are nothing to say, the reality is here, Murphy and Kara Firth looked at each other, and after asking the assistant to notify the people in the business class, they got off the plane first.

Now that there is a protest to occupy the runway and a confrontation with the police, I am afraid that it will not be resolved for a while.

Back in the terminal, Murphy realized that the situation was worse than he expected. The entire London City Airport had been forced to close, various flights were cancelled, and thousands of passengers were stranded in the airport terminal.

Through the glass windows of the terminal building, he could vaguely see a lot of people gathered on the takeoff runway of the airport, but because it was too far away, he couldn't see clearly.

"It seems," Kara Firth shook his head, "I won't be able to leave in a short time."

Murphy nodded, "I'll call Gail and tell her not to pick us up at the airport."

He took out his mobile phone, dialed Gal Gadot's number, said a few words to reassure Gal Gadot, then hung up the phone and asked Kara Firth, "Shall we go back first, or continue to wait? "

The negotiation has been completed, and there is nothing urgent between the two of them. Kara Firth said something to his assistant, and then said to Murphy, "Let's go back to the hotel first, and leave tomorrow."

"Yeah." Murphy nodded, "It's not an option to wait here, let's go back first."

After returning to the hotel, Murphy continued to pay attention to the incident at the airport, occupying the take-off runway of the airport, which led to the temporary closure of the airport. It is not a trivial matter in any country, and the matter is so big that the British side cannot block the news.

Sure enough, the live broadcast vans of the BBC and Sky TV had already driven past, and by the evening, they had figured out the whole story of the occupation incident. Murphy and Kara Firth looked at the report on the TV with extremely weird expressions. To describe it with a vocabulary from the other side of the Pacific Ocean, it can only be confused...

It is no exaggeration to say that Murphy and Kara Firth are extremely determined people. Even if the crowd occupying the takeoff runway of the airport is the Windsor family led by Queen Elizabeth II, they will not be so surprised , but this matter is too beyond imagination, so simple that normal humans cannot understand it.

No matter how you look at it, the two of them are still normal humans, but the group of people occupying the airport cannot be called a group of normal humans.

The protest lasted nearly ten hours before it ended, which was long enough for Fleet Street and the TV station to understand the cause and effect of the incident.

The crowd occupying the runway was from the UK branch of Black Lives Matter.

This is an organization that specifically advocates the rights of blacks. The slogan "Black Lives Matter" originated from the continuous shooting of blacks by police in the United States. It aims to oppose racial discrimination and emphasize the equal rights of blacks.

There is nothing wrong with fighting for equal rights, even if it is an extreme way of occupying the airport, it is understandable, the problem is that their reasons are too strong.

Why did a black rights organization protest at the London airport? Because their logical slogan today is: "Global warming is racism!"

With this slogan, a group of black uncles from the Black Lives Matter organization drove a rubber boat through the unguarded Thames River, rushed into the city airport, and appeared on the runway.

They set up a tripod on the runway and locked themselves on it, claiming to "protest the violation of black rights at London City Airport!"

But what does global warming have to do with racism? How did this airport provoke them? In their official statement, the reason they gave was: airports have caused the climate crisis, and black people are the biggest victims of the climate crisis, so this global warming climate crisis is an out-and-out racism crisis!

In a nutshell: climate warming is racist!

Seeing this reason and logic, Murphy, like all normal people, was heartbroken.

Especially when he saw the leader's black uncle being interviewed by Sky TV, Murphy just felt that his head was not enough.

"The average annual salary of passengers at London City Airport is 136,000 pounds, and 63% of them are engaged in business and financial work. This airport is set up for the rich! At the same time, the Newham district where the airport is located Forty-fifths of the population earn less than £20,000 a year and are barely getting by."

Facing the cameras of the TV station, the leader looked righteous and awe-inspiring, "You built the airport here to enjoy a rich life in the land of the poor! In the UK, black people are more likely to be exposed to air pollution than It is 28% higher than that of whites, so blacks are the biggest victims of environmental pollution, and your destruction of the environment is to make us unequal in the environment, which is racial discrimination!"

They also said that Britain's damage to the environment is global. When the global climate warms up, where is the hottest place? Africa! Who are the people in Africa? Negroes!

Of the 10 countries most affected by climate change in the world, 7 are located in the sub-Saharan region of Africa. Who are the people living there? Negroes!

So, while a handful of elites are flying in and out through London City Airport, millions of black people in Africa are dying from the heat, unable to escape the local heat because they have no access to cheaper and more convenient ways of surviving.

In this racist climate crisis, black people cannot be the first to immigrate, they can only be the first to die.

This is the species! family! different! See!

The annual salary of airport frequent flyers, air pollution, environmental damage, climate refugees, and black people die first, so you are discriminating against us black people...

Murphy still didn't quite understand how this logic was involved.

What he could see was that thousands of passengers were stranded at the airport because of this inexplicable protest, anxiously waiting for the airport to reopen and flight information to be updated.

This protest is so outrageous, so unbelievable, and so inconsistent with normal human behavior, it can only turn into a crazy feast of Internet complaints in the end.

Since he stayed in London for an extra day, Murphy had nothing to do, so he had the right to watch the fun.

Someone speculated that the meeting before their protest would be like this: "We will go to London City Airport to protest next, how can we get into the topic of racial discrimination? Well...how about pollution? Let's say pollution is racial discrimination!"

People with normal brains must not be able to understand the strange logic of the black uncles, and it is not surprising that the Internet complains frequently.

"It's really weird. Pollution doesn't automatically distinguish between races, so it becomes racial discrimination."

"Huh? Are black people more susceptible to air pollution? That's interesting, and this is the first time I've heard of it."

"Is it a joke to say that this airport is open to the rich and elite? A discounted air ticket to Madrid is only 35 pounds, which is not difficult to buy. Black people can't afford it, so you can only say that you don't work hard?"

"Learned something new today: Pollution is racism!"

"I don't know why the police have been negotiating with them for so long. This is called illegal intrusion. Why don't we just pick them up and drive them away?"

Someone else specifically answered this question, "If it is really treated as an illegal intrusion and directly driven away, the blacks will really have reasons and excuses for racial discrimination."

This incident continued until the next day, and the black people in that organization could always find countless reasons. As for the legal rights of the thousands of passengers stranded at the airport, they were not at all in their consideration.

And with the peculiar brain circuits of the black uncles of this organization, it is estimated that they will not take it seriously at all, because these people who fly on the plane are all discriminating against black people!

Although many ordinary people are usually silent on racial issues due to political correctness, they will start to complain when they sit in front of the keyboard.

It has to be said that in European and American societies, many people are already very disgusted with the activities of black groups in various fields and their "sensitive nerves".

Even many normal black people can't understand the completely confused behavior of their own compatriots.

Inexplicably, the negotiating team led by Murphy and Kara Firth was forced to stay in London for an extra day. Fortunately, they had no important work to do. Those who are busy with work and business, faced with this The situation is either to choose a flight from another airport, or to consider yourself unlucky.

At noon the next day, Murphy took a flight to North America. After arriving in Los Angeles, he took a simple two-day rest, adjusted the jet lag, and immediately threw himself into the latest promotional activity of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" .

Although the broadcast of this series on Fox Cable TV has ended, the follow-up peripheral sales have just begun, and the promotion and marketing will continue.

Before the release of the DVD, Stanton Studios and Twentieth Century Fox held a fan meeting specially for sales consideration.
