00:21We are Spanish and we have been waiting for the flight since 5.30 a.m. until now, we don't
00:27know anything.
00:28I will send an email to Tarom and to say what they will give us, money or the ticket.
00:37I never see that in my life.
00:39Yeah, it's true, my son, my daughters and I have a baby.
00:46How is this information?
00:47Look to my face, I'm pregnant.
