I was on this flight and sat overlooking the starbord engine.  I knew sometime was wrong with the engine and kept looking out as the pilots sorted it out.  The pilots and crew did a wonderful job and ought to be commended for it.  The people of Cold Bay are awesome and really helped us out.  Thank you to everyone in Cold Bay who participated!  I was in the group that went to the community center and got to sleep on the floor in a corner.  Unfortunately, AT&T is the only wireless provider and I was unable to connect to the wifi at the library.  Delta also deserves credit for handling the situation properly and with class.  When we finally got to Portland they had a bag for everyone with a nice Hydro Flask, smoked salmon, overnight bag, etc.  The also offered to buy dinner at Standford's.  I was very hungry and took them up on it.  Being able to enjoy a good meal before going home is a classy move for Delta and it was greatly appreciated.  I'd like to see more US companies act this way.
