Yesterday, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend boarded a direct flight from Los Angeles to Tokyo that took a quick turn of events—literally—and left them landing back at LAX after over 8 hours in the air. Luckily for all of us, Teigen live-tweeted the entire ordeal in an hours-long saga that may or may not be your new favorite detective show.
It all started four hours into the flight, after Teigen learned the plane had to turn around due to an unauthorized passenger on board:
a flying first for me: 4 hours into an 11 hour flight and we are turning around because we have a passenger who isn’t supposed to be on this plane. Why…why do we all gotta go back, I do not know

So many questions and I have no answers. Either do they. This person must be mortified though

Then, she realized she would have to spend 8 hours on a flight from LAX to…LAX:
Lmao after all this I will have spent 8 hours on a flight to nowhere. Like we were all just havin a great time up here flyin in the sky watching gran torino time to go home now

LAX —> LAX flight complete. Flight time, 8 hours and 20 minutes.

This person is so lucky that we will all have to deplane. Imagine having to walk off alone. The shame!

It was partially worth it for the sake of the story though (and the tweets that followed):
I don’t know why I’m not more upset about this. The pleasure I get out of the story is worth more to me than a direct flight to Tokyo

But the model/chef/Twitter queen had a lot of unanswered questions…
I won’t be able to sleep until I know how this person figured out they were on the wrong flight. That’s all I ask. 150 people have been majorly inconvenienced, please, just tell me
— chrissy teigen (@chrissyteigen) December 27, 2017
Why did we all get punished for this one person’s mistake? Why not just land in Tokyo and send the other person back? How is this the better idea, you ask? We all have the same questions.

Then, things took an interesting turn when the plane’s passengers had to participate in a police investigation following the flight. While waiting, Chrissy shared a few videos alongside husband John Legend and even posed for a selfie with a fellow passenger who started a Twitter account just for the occasion
There is a 20 minute interview before we can get off the plane!! This is my dream. Police! Talk to me talk to me

they put our plane in a secure area. We can’t be near the common folk 🙁

Police were interviewing all the people seated around the mystery person once we got off the plane. Why would they do this! I MUST KNOW MORE

Then, after deboarding the plane, Teigen was moved to a room where she could watch The Real Housewives which, as we all know, is the only way to recover from a nightmarish flight. There was also ramen noodles and a Twitter conversation with Lisa Rinna involved.
I have been moved to a room with Bravo. Clearly the authorities are trying to keep me quiet so I don’t BLOW THE LID OFF THIS “SITCH” pic.twitter.com/ohhpCmjviG

Finally, Teigen and Legend were booked on another flight and off to Tokyo alongside Star Wars‘ Yoda.

Not sure about you, but I would be here for a movie adaptation of this entire ordeal—starring Chrissy Teigen, of course.
