Actors Tyriq Withers and Daniel Kaluuya turned an unexpected airport delay into comedic gold during an interview with a local Eugene, Oregon news outlet. The two were stranded after the FAA imposed a four-hour ground stop on Friday, disrupting around 12,500 flights across the nation. KVAL's reporter Gold Meadows caught up with Withers and Kaluuya as they spoke about their experience.

Withers began the interview by expressing his gratitude to the FAA for their protective measures, referencing a 2015 meme from a WBRZ interview about a nightclub shooting in Bella Noche, La. He remarked, "I feel grateful 'cause it could have happened any other way. Think about how many lives were probably saved because of that decision."

Kaluuya then joined in the laughter, attempting to regain his composure. "But I feel good, man. I’m like, ‘We’re out here. I’m in Eugene, Oregon." Withers emphasized the positivity by making an "O" with his hands and shouting, "Throw the 'O!'" Kaluuya enthusiastically echoed, "O way or no way!"
