Still Stuck @ Newark - Edited

Realised that this post is abit kelam-kabut. That's because I was typing on my iPod with one finger. So, I am going to edit it a little bit....and add some photos of the chaos.

Our flight finally took off at 1.40 AM. That is a 6-hour DELAY. I supposed on a POSITIVE note, the flight did take-off....as many flights were actually cancelled. Otherwise, we would have missed our flight from SFO to Singapore. And then our flights from Singapore to KUL/CGK. Can you imagine waiting and queuing and then finding that your flight has been cancelled???

Anyway, apparently the idiot who caused all this chaos was only fined a mere USD 500/-. Such a puny sum. I can imagine the compensation that has to be dished out to the passengers who had their flights cancelled.

MESS @ Newark's Terminal C

Lucky I had these before the mayhem. Otherwise, I will surely FAINT from hunger!

Yup! I am stuck at Newark airport..... due to an earlier security breach.
Did you see the news on CNN?? Apparently some idiot walked through an Exit Sign or something. We had already passed through the security check-point and was waiting for our flight. When we wanted to get to our gate, we were told that we had to exit the "sterile" area and go through the security check again. So what to do? Go out lor. It was a whole blardy mess. The worse thing was NO NEWS or messages were conveyed. Had to read it off the internet while standing in the throngs of air travellers!

We waited outside from 7.30 pm till about 10 pm.... for the Security Check points to reopen. There were loud cheers and claps when they finally reopen the security checkpoints.
Our flight has been retimed I don't know how many times. Even after the check points were open, the concourse to most gates were still closed, and thus passengers stuck and planes not taking off. Thank goodness that Continental Airlines is now part of Star Alliance and at least H has access to the lounge. It is now 11.50 pm....
Gonna go now lah.
