Report from New York

It was impossible to get a flight out of Newark International airport on the 15th of April. The rain was falling like a wall over New York. The streets flooding and it was cold. A ferry would be better to use passing over the street.
Most flights were cancelled, so also mine, and I was standby in the afternoon. Placed on 5th place on the standby list I was hoping for a chance to escape out of NY. At the gate waiting in overtime with other fellow passenger suddenly a rugged fellow with two suite cases turned up and showed am id. He was quickly passed in to the plane before all waiting. My neighbor waiting fellow said it was a US marshal. He was ready to take out all mass destruction items.

I was glad to get an over night room at Marriott that night.
