@CernaDusha @PascaleStOnge_ @CBC The answer is in every news article. They were grounded by strong winds and bad weather. More doesn't solve the problem that they couldn't fly.

Neerja Bhanot was a 22 year old flight attendant on a hijacked plane, Pan Am Flight 73 on 5 September 1986 during a stopover

The terrorists demanded her to collect the passports of all the passengers, intending to identify the Americans among them. Recognizing the danger this posed, she and her fellow attendants under her charge hid the passports of the American passengers, some under seats and others down a garbage chute, making it difficult for the hijackers to distinguish between nationalities.
As the hijacking stretched on for 17 hours the terrorists eventually resorted to violence by opening fire and setting off explosives.

Neerja opened one of the airplane doors, and even though she could have been the first one to escape from the aircraft, she did not do so and instead started helping the other passengers and unaccompanied children. That is when she was caught and her courage was met with extreme cruelty. She was killed.

Neerja's actions saved many lives.

In addition to saving the lives of many hostages, Neerja Bhanot also helped prevent the plane from getting off the ground

A young child on board, who was just seven years old at the time, grew up to become a captain for a major airline. He credits Neerja as his inspiration, acknowledging that he owes every day of his life to her

@mastermaq This comment bothered me so much. As if those of us on transit always have a choice about who to interact with.

Very sad news, #yeg, #yegdt.

Just learned that Rice Howard Place (former Scotia Place) is renovating their food court and with it closing March 1, 2024, Amy is calling it quits. There are only 10 more months of Chicken for Lunch left. 😭

WFH today. I opened the window for a little fresh air and heard (and then saw) my first robin of the year.

I’m not interested in appearing “ageless.” It’s too expensive.

I am begging people to stop mixing bleach with anything but water.

Bleach + ammonia = chloramine gas
Bleach + vinegar or other acids = chlorine gas
Bleach + alcohol = chloroform

All of which can cause serious respiratory problems, eye irritation, and unconsciousness.
