We arrived safely in Moscow after a two hour delay in Atlanta (sitting on the plane). Apparently the plane was overweight which caused a problem due to the heat, crosswinds, and a shorter runway. They actually made some people get off the plane and their luggage was also removed. We can only assume that the people who had to get off the plane were flying standby. We were just glad that our name was not called. The only advantage to arriving in Moscow two hours late was that passport control was not a mob scene. This seemed to be a fairly new plane and the back of each seat had its own television screen. We were able to choose from several movies to watch. I actually managed to stay awake and watch one movie. I watched 27 Dresses and Kevin watched I am Legend.
