"As I recall it, there was a flight, I think from Port Moresby,..."

He's not sure where he got on the plane???

he recalled, he told a member of the crew not to worry about the language he had used

He couldn't remember if he took a flight, didn't notice the tears, but did recall telling the crew to ignore his language. At least the US isn't the only country that's being embarrassed by their officials.
