Heather and Sarah had an eventful trip back to school. It began early yesterday morning with a 70 min. delay sitting on the plane in Zürich, waiting for a green light from Atlanta airport. People were permitted to get off the plane then for rescheduling their flight or continue on, not knowing for sure where they would eventually land. The final destination was still in question when entering US airspace – Chicago, New York City, Atlanta?
Of the thousands of flight cancellations at Atlanta airport, their flight was one of the very few permitted to land. This made for a quiet, low stress evening with no crowds. They would be stranded there for the next 25+ hrs..
Heather and Sarah still had to get to Greenville which was also covered in snow and ice. The next available flight was at 5:37pm Tuesday. After a 2 hr. delay at the gate and sitting on the runway to take off, they were brought back and rescheduled for a later flight, which was ... you guessed it ... delayed. Their plane finally landed in Greenville (more white than green) a few hrs. ago.
The video above is one of several TV interviews Heather and Sarah gave during the night. It was their 15 seconds of fame on Fox News Atlanta. They were also interviewed by NBC Atlanta. CNN interviewed someone next to them so the airport seemed to be a popular hangout for news reporters.
