THE OFF-DUTY OFFICERS MANAGED TO
CRAWL OUT OF THE WRECKAGE BEFORE
HELP ARRIVED.
THEY WERE TAKEN TO THE
HOSPITAL.
THE POLICE COMMANDER TELLS US
THERE OFFICERS ARE EXPECTED TO
FULLY RECOVER.
ELSA: POWER HAS BEEN FULLY
RESTORED TONIGHT TO ATLANTA'S
AIRPORT.
THE POWER OUTAGE EARLIER TODAY
STRANDED THOUSANDS OF PASSENGERS
AND CANCELED HUNDREDS OF
FLIGHTS.
LORI IS LIVE AT LAX WHERE THE
RIPPLE EFFECTS ARE STILL BEING
FELT
REPORTER: SOME PEOPLE FELT IT
MORE THAN OTHERS.
SOME PEOPLE POSTED HORROR
STORIES ON SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT
BEING STUCK ON AIRPLANES FOR
OTHER PEOPLE SPENT THE DAY AT
AIRPORT TERMINALS AROUND THE
COUNTRY, EVEN NOW SOME
FRUSTRATED TRAVELERS ARE STILL
TRYING TO FIND THEIR WAY.
THE DAY WAS GREAT.
REPORTER: SHE IS KIDDING OF
COURSE.
THE GRAY WAS ANYTHING BUT THAT.
AFTER THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AT THE
AIRPORT THIS MORNING, NEARLY
1000 FLIGHTS TO AND FROM ATLANTA
WERE CANCELED.
DELTA HAS ALREADY CANCELED MORE
THAN 300 FLIGHTS MONDAY.
EVERYONE'S TRAVEL PLANS ARE UP
IN THE AIR, OR ACTUALLY NOT.
THE FLIGHT WAS CANCELED AND
THEY SAID WE WOULD GET TO THE
FOUR AND THEN THE FOR FLIGHT WAS
CANCELED AND ALL THE FLIGHTS
WERE CANCELED.
REPORTER: A FIRE IN AN
UNDERGROUND ELECTRICAL FACILITY
MIGHT'VE CAUSED THE OUTAGE.
THE BLACKOUT LEFT PASSENGERS
STRANDED IN THE DARK AT GATES
AND RESTAURANTS AND SECURITY
CHECKPOINTS INCLUDING ONE OF
KCAL9 CBS 2 RIDERS.
IT WAS VERY ERIE.
THE LUGGAGE CAROUSEL'S WERE
STILL IN PEOPLE WERE SITTING ON
THEM AND VERY CHAOTIC.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WALKING OUT,
TRYING TO GET OUT AND FIGURE OUT
WHAT WAS GOING ON.

AIRPORT STRUGGLED, IT WAS FELT
AROUND THE WORLD.
HUNDREDS OF PASSENGERS WILL BE
SPENDING A FEW EXTRA DAYS ON THE
WEST COAST.
THOUGH TO SOME, WHERE THEY WILL
SPEND IT ISN'T CLEAR.
THEY GAVE US A DISCOUNT
VOUCHER FOR A LOCAL HOTEL, BUT
ALL THE HOTELS SEEM TO BE BOOKED
SO WE HAVE A DISCOUNT COUPON.
IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY.
WE ARE LEAVING TOMORROW AND
I'M TIRED.
REPORTER: MOST PASSENGERS WE
SPOKE WITH WERE IN THE HOLIDAY
SPIRIT, MAKING THE BEST OF A BAD
SITUATION.
WE DO HAVE OUR LUGGAGE ON THE
FLIGHT SO THAT'S WHY I AM NOW
PART OF LAX.
I'M LIVING OUT MY TERMINAL
DREAMS.
REPORTER: ALL OF THE PASSENGERS
HAVE BEEN REBOOKED.
SOME ARE LEAVING TOMORROW
MORNING BUT OTHERS ARE NOT
LEAVING UNTIL TUESDAY NIGHT.
AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THOSE PEOPLE
ARE HEADING HOME TO BE WITH
