I lived in Manhattan at the time. My apt. was filled with everyone who couldn't go home and it was very stressful.

They had just dished up breakfast and then had to make an emergency landing so quickly whipped away our trays and chucked the food…there was nothing but pretzels and vodka/whiskey miniatures handed around for the rest of the time we were on the plane. Exceptional circumstances and very harrowing day - everyone was just kind and patient to one another.

The worst part of it was we couldn’t contact our loved ones for many hours. The only news about what was happening came from a Canadian sports radio station. Eventually the Canadians allowed us off the plane and drove us to a high school. Following morning we were billeted with local families - I managed to contact mine again last year. Lovely people
