Smart travellers help please!

I was in Istanbul during the bombings last week. I have a Munich-SFO restricted T class ticket. I was unable to fly the day of the bombings from Istanbul until now. I am waiting at the Munich airport for T space to become available.

CO says it will not waive the change fee ($200)despite the fact that I could not physically get back to Munich on that day for my transatlantic trip.

First, Is it normal that they make me wait for a T class seat to become available and not just let me fly standy due to the terrorism?

Also isnt it normal they waive the $200 fee because of these bombings? They say that because CO only ticketed me to Munich that they are not responsible but back during 9/11 they let all US cities rebook without penalty not just D.C. or NYC.

I am 12+ years an elite on CO (have dropped from 10 year Plat on them to just silver now because of their lame service) and I am also a NW Plat.

I dont know what point to pursue this but I repect the FF's wise experience and will do as you say.

Thank you Ladies/Gentlemen!
