Well, this here is a live look. Look at this. They're not ants.
Those are planes. This is a live look at all of the flights
in the air over the U.S. courtesy of the website AirNavRadar.com.
You can see it right there. It tracks flights in real time.
A day ago, the skies were totally empty.
The four and a half hour ground stop was lifted last night. But.
Cancelations continue, putting the travel plans
of hundreds of thousands of people, well, in the air.
Fox 2's Camille O'Meary is live tonight at Detroit Metro Airport
to see if travel is getting back to normal there.
Camille, great job last night, by the way.
Well, great job to you too, Dave.
That was quite a night we had yesterday. This is nothing compared.
The skies are full of planes and the passengers are leaving.
That's the great news. Take a look at some video.
It is pretty crowded at the airport.
People trying to get on the planes that they couldn't get on yesterday
because of that ground stop that lasted over four hours.
Meanwhile, we talked to people whose flights were canceled
and then they rebooked.
We talked to a lot of people who just said, no,
my flight was scheduled for today at whatever
time and I'm here to take it
and it's business as usual, which is great.
That's exactly what we wanted to hear.
We've also of course ran into a problem where people are landing
at airports but their bags aren't and that's another problem.
Still all around people are trying to take it in stride
and they're just thankful that that ground stop is over. Take a listen.
We're going to Spain for a school field trip.
We were supposed to leave.
Yes, this morning actually our flight got cancelled.
I was really scared.
I was scared that our whole trip was going to get cancelled.
I didn't know when we were going to be able to get a flight.
I didn't know if we were even going to be able to...
Have a trip like with given how much time we could potentially lose.
I think we finally left Orlando at 10 a.m.
And then we while we were in the air, our flight from here
to Kalamazoo was canceled and then rebooked for 940 p.m.
We asked to cancel that flight,
have our bags brought down so then we could just drive home.
You know, it's a two hour drive
and we've now been waiting for four hours for our bags.
So she had quite a story, of course,
waiting for those bags for four hours.
When I spoke with them, they had three out of four bags.
They were waiting for that fourth bag,
and then they were going to actually Uber to a family member's home,
and then that family member was going to take them to Kalamazoo.
The stories never end, Dave.
I mean, people just figuring out.
It's like mental gymnastics.
How are you going to get from point A to point B
in a way that is not the typical way?
Because everything about these past two days has
been anything but typical.
Reporting live from Detroit Metro, Dave, I'll send it back to you.
Yeah, Camille, you said it.
By the way, great work last night talking about
the price gouging of the hotels
that prompted Roop to text the Attorney General, Dana Nessel,
and she said she's looking into it.
Have you heard anything or seen anything else on hotel prices?
Have they started to come down at all?
I haven't had a chance to check.
I'm guessing that they probably have come down because now all
the planes are flying, so people aren't necessarily stranded here.
We're finding out that a lot of people's planes were just rebooked,
and they've been able to get out the next day, so that's the good news.
But yeah, I'm glad that we did that,
and I'm glad that we've reached out to the AG's office because,
like I said last night, imagine you're stuck somewhere.
You just need someplace to sleep,
and the hotels are jacking up the prices.
It's not right.
No, not at all.
Great work at the airport tonight, too, as well.
