Sometimes reality is able to surpass even fantasy. The plot of one of the most famous Christmas films that, incredibly, turns into an evocative story. First reported by CNN and then broadcast by all television channels in the United States. Remember “Home Alone,” the blockbuster film starring Macaulay Culkin in 1991? A 6-year-old boy, who was traveling as an unaccompanied minor in the United States, was “sent” to Orlando and not to Fort Myers, where his grandmother was waiting for him at Christmas.
CNN reported on the misadventure of little Casper Ramos, the protagonist of a story that is very reminiscent of the “exploits” of Kevin McCallister, the boy played by Macaulay Culkin in “Home Alone”. Casper, as the Adnkronos news agency recalls, was supposed to join his grandmother in Fort Myers, Florida, on a flight from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Spirit Airlines, the company where the child boarded, apologized for the inconvenience which, fortunately, did not cause worse consequences than predictable inconveniences. Casper landed in Orlando, 4 hours from his intended destination. The airline, in addition to the apology, also offered a refund for the flight. The grandmother, who reached her grandson, mainly expects explanations: “I want you to call me and explain to me why my grandson ended up in Orlando. How did this happen? The flight attendant – who had received his mother’s documents – told him let go alone?” The company launched an internal investigation. The grotesque aspect of the story is that the luggage arrived at the correct destination.
