I think you're exactly right about last February 2010. Because the flight has been delayed due to snowstorm in NYC areas. That's why they were removed his whole entire family off the planes. Because he was complaints to get more water for his pregnant wife. So that's why NK had no rights to pay the water fees and there is no such things about his entire family cannot afford to pay $10 water. Because his family who had it right to get free of charges.
