Andrew Garfield and Owen Thiele found a new social network during their plane’s emergency landing.
The actors were among the passengers—which also included Nick Robinson, singer Mark Ambor and Love Island USA‘s Dylan Wrona—to make unexpected connections after their Delta flight from Los Angeles to New York City made an emergency stop in Albuquerque.
“We apologize to our customers on Delta Flight 958 (LAX to JFK) on Sept 9, which diverted to Albuquerque due to a smoky odor in the aircraft,” the airline said in a statement given to Entertainment Weekly Sept. 10. “The aircraft landed uneventfully and our teams worked to reaccommodate customers as quickly as possible to their final destinations.”
Thiele humorously documented the entire ordeal on his Instagram Stories—that he commemorated with a grid post—which eventually led him to making friends with his fellow passengers.
“We just had an emergency landing in Albuquerque,” he captioned a photo of a firefighter on the plane. “Any recs?”
“Andrew Garfield on my flight,” the Adults actor added on a subsequent post. “If plane went down it would’ve said Andrew Garfield and others. Nick Robinson here too. Andrew Garfield, Nick Robinson and others.”
