Write up from The Guardian on this: https://www.theguardian.com/australi...-new-years-eve

Notes that the residents have shown island hospitality, gave the passengers food and drink, etc.; mostly the details are what’s already been reported, but they add a little color from some of the passengers.

My favorite, though, is the embedded tweet from the person who complained that they were “starting [their] honeymoon stranded on American Samoa” because United “couldn’t get [them] a plane for over 21 HOURS.” In the middle of the South Pacific, thousands of miles from the nearest crew base.

The last reply in the thread, “I wish your husband the very best of luck.” — I swear I didn’t write it, but man did I think it. 😁
