We’re evacuating the building now. Oh my gosh,” Tumbuan said.The inconveniences didn’t stop at the fire alarms.”As we were getting here, we both get the alert on our app that the flight is canceled and we were like no,” Tumbuan said.Ahead of their travel plans, both Tumbuan and Truvon Smith kept their eyes on their traveling apps, hoping to finally fly out of New Orleans and get to their destinations.”My app constantly said delayed, delayed, delayed. We were on the 6 a.m. flight for Wednesday, but they all were canceled, so we actually got lucky and got on the only one that’s supposed to be going to Miami tonight,” Smith said.There were many flights being delayed and canceled on Thursday, but Babsy Sinandile still decided to be there despite the challenges of even making it to the airport.”I took a taxi cab. It took about an hour to get here. We had to do all this back road stuff, and I fell asleep. I let him do his thing. He said he was from Connecticut, and I was like, cool,” Sinandile said. “It’s been stressful,” Sinandile said.”I just need to get closer to my house,” Tumbuan said.
