first of all, you cant prove that the plane wasnt hit by lightning, just because it was raining in JFK (i live 20miles away but my closest airport is EWR) the flight could have been hit on its previous flight over here, unless you know the weather over the atlantic, so for you to start yelling saying dont listen to their excuse is way over the top, especially if it was hit by lightning, and if it was and they didnt get everything checked out than you would be complaining about that

also if your complaining about the $7 vouchar for food than that is crazy, they didnt have to or need to give you any vouchar, i have been on a trans atlantic flight that was delayed at least 2hours and we didnt get anything, i also missed my connecting flight and was put up in a dirty hotel for the next flight in the morning (this was christmas eve) it was a 22hour flight from EWR to Singapore (SIN) if you want you can read my story (go to Virgin Atlantic - complaint) and i still dont think virgin is close to being the worst airline, and i will travel with them again, in fact i am going with them in about 3 months for my connecting flight with singapore airlines

from what i can read in your story is that you could have created havoc and chaos and Air France could have called the police if they needed
