I was on a United flight in 2019 that had to be diverted due to tornado warnings at the destination (DC). We circled Columbus long enough that eventually the pilot announced that he was still waiting for authorization to land and that it should be soon because we only had about "20 minutes" worth of fuel left. He announced 45 minutes later that we were going to land in Pittsburgh instead, without providing an update on the fuel situation. We glided until we landed, with all lights turned off and violent winds throwing the plane around. The plan was to refuel and keep going toward DC, where tornado warnings hadn't been dismissed. There was an airline employee (not sure if he had been on the plane) at the gate aggressively telling people, some of them crying on the phone with loved ones, that they had to get back on this flight, with the same crew. He lied to me about my luggage continuing on to DC if I didn't get back on the plane (this is illegal and in fact I found my luggage at the Pittsburgh airport the next day when I went to get my flight out of there).
The only thing I found about it online is a couple of tweets from other passengers of the same flight.
