Which flight was delayed hours? Looking at FlightAware, I see 2 LY flights that landed on Wednesday. Neither was scheduled to land at 05:00 and neither did.

LY2 landed at 12:09PM (51 minutes behind schedule) and LY4 landed at 03:23AM, 18 minutes behind schedule.

And does anyone know the author, this woman who suffered so much, personally? Does anyone know her track record of finding fault with all religious men in virtually every sphere? Does anyone know who discredited academic track record?

I do - I've dealt with her personally.

Loathe am I to ever condone the behavior by those who make a fuss over sitting next to women on the plane. They are wrong from a moral and Jewish law perspective, and they waste everyone's time which violates Jewish law and they cause a desecration of God's name. So I'm not saying, "it's OK here." It's not. And I'm well aware of these stories. They're not fake, I get it.
BUT, I feel little sympathy for a woman who has cried wolf one too many times. And then exaggerates too much here (her story isn't supported by publicly available facts).
