"They brought about 100 hamburgers, for 189 of us there, they said that seniors and families with young children can sleep on cots in the basement, the rest of us was just left floating around, "Brownlee said. "So, we were all awake over 36 hours of the entire test – just completely exhausted, broken and I would just say shocked with the treatment we received from Ryanair."
