00:00We were waiting like, we got in at 5am and they only told us when we just landed that we were going to Gatwick so we had no time to react at all.
00:06We were waiting about 6 hours for our bags, it was a crazy amount of time and trying to get it sorted was just an absolute mess.
00:12I know it's a tough time for everyone but it's crazy, there's no protocol or something, you're waiting for so long and we've all got exams to go back to in college after that so we're all kind of stressing at the moment.
00:23I think we're booked in tomorrow, if it's open tomorrow I think we'll be able to go home tomorrow because we're only going to Cork which is not too far away, only an hour flight.
00:31But we were so close to getting home on time, the last leg of the hour and then all this happened.
00:38I feel bad for everyone on the ground working this because it's not fun for anyone but it does feel like there was no plan.
00:49We're waiting for a bus now, I don't know when it will come. It's been a lot of buses and waiting and not really knowing what actually the plan is but I guess it's kind of unprecedented.
