A live picture from Mitchell International Airport.
Look at that.
Delayed, delayed, delayed, delayed.
Man, this is what it looked like
a little earlier today as people were sitting down.
Let's get out to Abreu Preciado joining us live.
What's the vibe out there, Abreu?
Oh, my gosh.
What can I say?
It's very quiet now.
I mean, I'm going to just step out
of the picture just to give you guys a look.
We don't see.
Any traveler out here waiting in line,
several of the airline employees have pretty much cleared out and left.
Right now, we are hearing an employee out here in the airport kind
of finally starting to vacuum in the area because, again, many folks
left or they decided to find a place to spend the night or others
are planning to just come back tomorrow morning hoping to departure.
Once again, it's been quite the
The last few hours, obviously, a different look than what we first saw
when we first arrived here a couple of hours ago.
But obviously, many folks that we spoke to just before this live here
were telling us off camera that while they now feel a sense
of relief following the national ground stop being lifted,
now it's dealing with the aftermath and what comes next.
Several folks that we also spoke with earlier were telling us.
Is that now they're trying to figure out if they could even make
their way to their destination that they have planned.
Because again, you know, several people have
different events that they have planned out.
But yes, I'll show you to the soundbite.
Guys, we're heading to...
Denver.
To Denver.
Where were you guys heading?
Did you guys have plans for an event?
For two weeks in Denver by my son to go see
my granddaughter play the violin tomorrow
morning so I'm hoping I still can get there.
Can I ask how you guys found out what
was happening that you're obviously your plans
got, there was a change in your plans?
My son texted me that it was on the news while I was en route here.
Are you guys from the Milwaukee area?
No, Hartford, Wisconsin.
Oh my goodness, so you guys traveled.
Yeah, so I'm stuck here because I'm by myself.
Oh my God.
I got dropped off.
So I have to decide what I'm doing.
Yes, so you think that, are you hoping to stay put here?
Are you hoping to find some answers?
I rebooked for tomorrow morning at 5
30 flight, so I'm hoping, I'm not sure what I'm doing yet,
if I'm staying here or getting
a hotel or what I do.
By the looks of it, for this traveler,
is that they may be coming back in the morning,
hoping to make that flight
and catching their grandson at that recital as well.
So hopefully some good news for them and for several other travelers
that I know are still trying to figure out the logistics
of if they're able to make it out to their destination.
But that's pretty much the sentiment that we're feeling right now.
Obviously, once again, things have tremendously slowed down.
I'm sure that's a different picture that we're seeing
at bigger airports, at bigger cities,
But right now things are slowing down
and folks are just trying to figure out what comes next.
But we'll obviously keep you guys updated with more information
as we continue to kind of stick around here as well.
Reporting live from Manchester International
Airport, Avril Preciado, Fox 6 News.
Kind of a sad scene because people
are hoping it would speed up, not be slowed down.
The airlines are like, we're just going
to take the rest of the night off.
We're clocking out. It's been a difficult day.
All right. Thanks.
