An Edmonton woman said vacationing family members in Mazatlan described a scene of chaos.
"They're safe in their hotel," said Tina Dahl, an Edmonton woman with relatives stranded in the popular resort town of Mazatlan.
They were to fly out Thursday evening, but street fighting closed the airport and buses that were to take them there were burned in front of the hotel. "My brother did call my mom and dad yesterday and he's like, 'It's something I've never seen before. It's like something in the middle of a war zone and I don't know what to think and feel.'Dahl said her family was to talk with Sunwing on Friday to see when they could get a flight home.
"I've never seen Mazatlan so quiet in my life," Bronson said in a message Friday. "But today everything is back to normal." "So we stayed on the excursion until it was done and when we came back to the hotel, that's when we saw long lineups."Some families were forced to sleep in the hotel lobby, while some staff members opted to stay overnight at work, she said.North and her family were supposed to fly back to Winnipeg on Friday morning, but have been told their flight is delayed until Saturday.
