Vacation for hundreds of thousands of passengers have been cancelled because of the severe disaster. Delta Airlines cancelled more than 4,000 flights. If you called in to check. you'll be awaited with a "telephone is busy" and a dial tone. Communication was disrupted, dialing and circuits overloaded. Then flights would end up canceled for lack of a crew members lost in Delta’s communications deficiency, unaware of the assignment. It took over a week to fix these problems. In Atlanta, flights were canceled after midnight, after underground airport trains had shut down. Vacationers were forced to walk miles thorough lobby ways filled tired vacationers.

It had to of been a sad time for the citizens of Atlanta. Their vacation was ruined by the weather, and they had to walk in it afterwards. It's funny but not funny. I hope they got their money back, and I hope they're safe.
