Shelbi Mojarro has heard that flights may soon return to normal. Her own airport ordeal is not over: after roughly nine hours at San Francisco International Airport, she is still trying to find her luggage.
"I still don't have my bag. I have no idea where it is," she tells CBC News: The National in a remote interview following the nationwide U.S. ground stop.
Asked about the terminal's mood, Mojarro describes confusion and exhaustion. The broadcast cuts to baggage carousels crowded with suitcases and aircraft parked in the rain. She says many passengers, herself included, have had to arrange alternative transportation.
The interview adds an individual account from San Francisco to CBC's coverage of the disruption in Canadian airports. It has drawn about 109,000 views since yesterday.
When the anchor raises concerns about outdated aviation systems and asks whether she has reservations about flying again, Mojarro declines to make an immediate judgment. She wants to sleep and learn more before deciding how she feels.
Her immediate priorities are less complicated: "Next for me is, hopefully finding my bag, then going home, and then a shower."
