Global power outage leaves Brazilian professor stranded in Miami after flight

A colleague of Alf managed to board the plane shortly before the reporter contacted the professor.“I am looking forward to getting back home and resuming my routine. The only option left for me is to stay here, waiting for the airline in the hope that I can get on the flight back,” he said.

He says the airline provided accommodation and food vouchers. He returned to the airport after spending the night in a hotel, and is now trying to board the plane again. According to him, you will have to wait in lines to get the vouchers, and perhaps board a flight to Brazil.

Alf says he looks forward to meeting his daughters again.“It’s a very bad situation,” he said regretfully. “They are waiting for my return home, the gifts, and the long-awaited reunion. Unfortunately, it has been postponed for several hours, and perhaps a few days.”

We are providing all the necessary support and hope that the situation will be resolved as soon as possible,” said Gabriele Frozi, Founder and CEO of the Foundation.
