    I don't think you've really thought this one through. There would have to be a state of emergency declaration to do that.

    At some point you have to consider pulling the emergency exit to GTFO. Under no circumstances should they keep you in a plane on the ground for 10 hours. The airport is closed. Planes aren?t moving. Just let everybody out and walk them out.

    It seems really odd that the busiest airport in the world can be without power for 8+ hours and they say they ?think? a fire caused the problem.

    Damn, I?ve had some bad trips but this situation is BAD! Honestly,

    I?ve had more bad experiences at Hartsfield than anywhere else! I avoid it if I can!

    Yeah. What happened to isolate back up generators? This might be another snowmaggedon type WTF, but time will tell. I’m sure the FAA and about 10 other agencies will be there soon asking questions.

    Heading West now! After 5 hours on the tarmac, 30 min in customs, 1 hour waiting for information on luggage, and 1 hour wait to just get to the rental car center,,,,hitting I-20 W. In the international terminal, 1000’s wondering in a mass sea of humanity. It was a horror show! Power was on but no one knew nothing. Power was on, but there was no cell signal when you got inside. The only thing I know is that my luggage is still on the plane and I’m mobile towards home. Just do this again Tuesday.
