We’ve been on the plane itself for over 8 hours from Montreal (1 hour away). People are beginning to threaten to break open emergency exits and staff is still saying “30 more minutes” they’ve been saying this for hours. Something is up.

Since the weather is not clear, the flights are stopped and the travelers are facing a lot of discomfort due to it. One of the passengers tweeted that the things were going out of control there and the passengers were threatening to knock down the emergency doors of the flight as they had been waiting for 8 hours aboard a flight.
Planes Collided
According to the officials who manage the airport, two passenger jets collided on Saturday. Hence, they were trying to avoid any other accident. “The right wing of a China Southern plane struck the tail of a Kuwait airliner. Both aircraft were damaged but no injuries were reported.”
Other Accidents
Another accident took place at Toronto’s Pearson airport on Friday night. The plane caught fire and the passengers had to evacuate by emergency slides in the bone-chilling weather. Apart from this, four people died in the road accidents.
The Freezing Cold Is A Result Of Bomb Cyclone
The sub-freezing weather is said to be the aftermath of Bomb Cyclone that brought a heavy snowfall that the roads are covered with a 1-foot thick layer of snow which is being taken out with the help of snow plows.
We hope the things will get well soon in the US and the freezing weather will be over soon. What do you say? Share your thoughts and ideas in the comments.
