I know after 9/11, while I was working for British Airways, the Red Cross was unbelievable! I have never been so impressed with the organizational level and willingness to go the extra mile they showed so many thousands of people.
We had people stuck in airports who weren't equipped for 'customs'...so the passengers couldn't get their bags....and the Red Cross came in like major Hero's and saved the day. The also rescued people who simply couldn't get home from here due to no plane seats available and had no money left for hotel or food. All we had to do is let the people know where the Red Cross was in their area....and they got immediate help. It was fabulous watching that sort of human kindness.
I was totally impressed.
