Pilot Orders Pizzas For Stranded American Airlines passengers

When American Airlines Flight 2354 was delayed at Wichita Falls Regional Airport because of weather, the pilot reportedly ordered 40 pizzas for the stranded passengers.

"What a guy," one observer can be heard saying in a video tweeted by Josh Raines.

The video was initially posted Thursday afternoon, but gained a larger audience Friday as more rain poured down on Wichita Falls. It shows a pilot jog over to a Papa John's delivery driver, who pulled out several handfuls of pizza boxes.
