Spirit Airlines apologized to the American public during a last minute bankruptcy hearing Tuesday morning just days after its shock shutdown.

The budget-friendly airline shut down with immediate effect Saturday, impacting thousands of passengers who became stranded and nearly as many employees.

Marshall Huebner, an attorney for the former airline, took the stand in front of Judge Sean H. Lane in a White Plains, New York, courtroom to discuss the hardship it encountered that led to its shutdown, including a dramatic rise in fuel prices resulting from the U.S. and Israel’s war with Iran.

    Maybe it’d be better for our great grandchildren (admittedly, a very worthy goal if we could be sure). I doubt it’s going to make things better for anyone alive on this planet right now.

    Edit: when I say anyone, I of course mean you and I and our friends and families. There will be people getting rich but I don’t think they’re like us
