Penelope Cruz Gets Panic Attack In Airplane

Text

When the takeoff of her plane was delayed due to bad weather, Penelope Cruz requested to leave the aircraft.

Penelope Cruz boarded Continental’s flight when she received a panic attack, for which the take-off was delayed for two hours. One of the passengers in the Newark Liberty International Airport stated that the actress was very upset, and did not want to fly.

The airplane was flying from Newark, New Jersey to Barcelona in Spain, and the 33 year old celebrity passenger and actress requested from the aircraft personnel to remove her luggage, which caused the delay.

Penelope’s spokesperson denied that a panic attack created the takeoff delay, and stated that the bad weather was the reason that the actress left the aircraft, because she did not want to spend two hours waiting for the storm to pass.

No other passengers complained, or requested to leave the aircraft.
