Planes from every place imaginable are literally lined tightly together, much like a parking lot, on the tarmac and runways at our meager 5-gate airport. One American airliner did have a bomb scare, so passengers where immediately evacuated from this plane while it was intensely searched. The 600 currently on campus here at MUN also have access to translators via the Department of French and Spanish, and the Department of German and Russian, and by the many multi-lingual faculty, staff, and students here on campus. I saw one passenger shown a map of the world and where, exactly, he currently was situated. Many others had to consult atlases.
Some schools are closed to accommodate the passengers.
Students at commercial cooking institutes in the province have been donating their time to cook meals. They interviewed one student chief on television, who has been cooking hundreds of cupcakes non-stop for over 24 hours to feed the people. The international passengers still remain here on MUN campus, and tonight the School of Music will put off a special concert for the group of 600 very weary, but understanding and grateful travelers.
