CNN: American Tourists Are Stranded in Mexico as Violence Erupts Stemming from Drug Cartel War

RUSH EXCERPT:

CULVER: “We‘re just off the airport grounds right now, Aaron. And we spent about an hour and a half upon arrival speaking with people who are inside there hoping to go home. I don‘t think I‘ve ever been to a situation where you‘ve had people so hungry for information that is verified, and the reason I say that is you have a lot of people who will admit they‘re scrolling through social media and seeing a lot of false information, misinformation, things that simply are leading to tense moments that they don‘t know whether to believe are true or not and that‘s just raising the uneasiness inside that place in of itself. Now, what is interesting is they were also pretty happy to see us, not because we were arriving as journalists, but because we arrived on a U.S. airline that then they realized, okay, a plane has now arrived. That means there are planes that could take us out. That‘s what they‘re hoping for at this point we‘re about to touch down. This is one of the few commercial flights that‘s actually able to land in guadalajara today this plane will be fully booked with a very long standby list of people eager to get out. I mean this is what you see as soon as you walk out of baggage claim, you‘ve got crowds of folks who are sitting with their luggage. You‘ve got people who have turned their luggage into furniture, propping their legs up. Some of them essentially camping out under blankets and many of them seem to be here without even anywhere to go. They don‘t have flights. They don‘t have a confirmed ticket. They don‘t even know if they have a ticket, if the plane will take off how confident are you you‘ll be flying out tonight?”
