A Delta airlines flight from Cleveland to New York City was so badly delayed that by the time it took off there were only two passengers left to get on board. The scheduled 7:15am service from Ohio to New York's LaGuardia airport was hit by delay after delay throughout Monday, and didn't take off until around 6pm that evening. By that time almost everybody had been moved to other flights - at one point leaving just one man on board the service with a full flight crew, who gave him a personal in-flight safety drill. Empty flight: Chris O'Leary, above, was the only passenger on the Cleveland to New York flight for a time - but a second man got on moments before take-off
