Passengers 'march' toward Austin Airport as power outage prompts road closures

A power outage at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport on Wednesday, September 7, brought flights to a halt and caused road closures near the airport. This footage posted to Twitter by Jeffrey Odolski shows passengers hauling luggage as they walked toward the airport. “We marching towards @AUStinAirport,” read a caption accompanying the post. According to the Austin American-Statesman, road closures around the airport caused “massive delays and backups” on Highway 71. In an update posted to Twitter, the airport said power had been restored, and flights were taking off again, but travelers should still expect delays.
