We receive confirmation that the damage in Terminal 1 is not as bad as first thought. The team believes the terminal can be used today and the night flight ban has been lifted which will help with the backlog of flights. We all believe it is important to give out a positive message as early as possible. The television screen shows a baggage handler saying that the baggage area is full of water and will take days to clear up, which was untrue. There are also interviews with people at the airport who complain about the lack of information.
Some passengers become abusive, one or two violent.
The police intervene. Despite all efforts to inform everyone of what is going on, inaccurate information is still broadcast and the frustration of customers caused by missed meetings, flight connections and a host of other personal events is beginning to show. We have been told that Terminal 1 is ready to be opened. This is quickly dealt with. The first flight lands.
