James Corden sought out airline employees in an attempt to find the truth about an international flight mishap, and this time, the public was behind him.
The comedian was seen chatting up some British Airways employees at an airport in Portugal, looking agitated after some travel mishaps. This was a sight that other passengers found endearing.
Although he may have appeared irate, sources with firsthand knowledge tell the media that he was merely asking airline staff members questions and gathering information. Although James wasn't "venting frustration" or confronting anyone, there were rumors that he had confronted the crew.
James was traveling from Portugal to the UK when a mechanical problem with the wings forced the passenger plane to make an emergency landing in Lisbon. According to witnesses, they were told to brace for impact and possibly make their way to the emergency exits.

James and the other pilots were allegedly left on the aircraft for three hours while it sat on the tarmac after it touched down, which is sure to cause unrest among other passengers.
Things didn't get any easier once they were released from the aircraft. JC and the others were led to an immigration area, but no BA employees were present to provide guidance, so the situation descended into another chaotic one.
In a departure from his past controversies, such as his well-known feud with a NYC restaurant owner, passengers who witnessed the incident came forward to defend James Corden's actions. They shared their experiences with media outlets, shedding light on his interaction with the airline crew.
This time, the passengers claim that James was completely justified in his interaction with British Airways employees. They also claim that James entertained everyone during the three hours they spent on the tarmac by cracking jokes and taking pictures as he moved along the aisle.
We reached out to British Airways ... so far no word back.
