What should have been a 75 minute flight turned into a nine-hour nightmare for passengers on a Southwest flight from Baltimore to Raleigh. 

The incident happened on Southwest flight 3094 Friday when the plane began to shake 'like crazy,' resulting in multiple passengers vomiting and one person even passing out. 

The plane was sent to the Myrtle Beach airport amid the turbulence and the passengers were left without food or information for several hours as their flight crew left.

According to a couple on board, the plane was approaching its destination of Raleigh when it was aborted at the last second due to inclement weather. 

'It was quite a horrifying experience — we go to land in Raleigh and the plane starts shaking like crazy — then they decide to tell us 15 minutes later we are going to Myrtle Beach,' said passenger Nicholas Reed.

Reed was traveling with his girlfriend, Krys Spence, as they returned from a cruise. 

According to CBS 17, the Boeing 737 - which was full - was held on the tarmac for hours just for the passengers to arrive inside and find a closed airport. 

'We couldn't go anywhere because they wouldn't give us our luggage,' Reed said. 'One group of guys found a bar and went behind it and just started pouring themselves drinks — because there was no security.' 

Southwest officials told the Raleigh station the weather issues the plane faced while approaching Raleigh also caused the jet to experience low-fuel. 

Reed and Spence said the plane, which was supposed to leave around 6.40pm on Friday, wasted nearly an hour's worth of gas on the tarmac before taking off. 

After finally taking off just after 7.30pm, the plane began experiencing issues around 9 as they approached Raleigh.
