WOW! That is a crazy story! Thanks for taking the time.
+1. Wow!
All I can say is, luckily you at least landed A) somewhere normal, B) NYC, C) and most of all, where you have family and that they were able to send you food etc etc. (the only other similar lucky place would I guess be TLV).
Question, you write " They said ok lets go home now. I’m like were staying here for Shabbos…they were not happy. They said there must be a way out of it."
Who are these "they"? Not clear..
