WHEN I LEFT WORK FOR THE EVENING - the son was still stuck and they were still trying to get through. I NEVER told them to buy another ticket, I NEVER told the son to come back. Those words were put in my virtual mouth. I did not find out what the end result was until I arrived at work the next afternoon, far too late for me to assist further.
I know you told them to call and use Twitter and did not mean to suggest otherwise. (In fact, see post #5!)
