Not sure if there were really any passengers disembarking in San Juan. I would guess that it was pretty much an empty flight flying in.

What a heroic effort! Salute to the entire team!

There were 30 people on the flight to San Juan.

Each one of them must be quite a story. Being in San Juan despite the danger must have been very important for most, and they almost were unable to make it.

Airfare was cheap to make it an attractive mileage run.

Perhaps disaster response folks pre-positioning. Red Cross, etc.

Honestly wondered if Jim Cantore was on that plane.

Heh, great comment. I wrote The Weather Channel a letter (yes, on paper, sent by mail) years ago specifically in appreciation of Jim's demonstrable love of severe weather. He is a guy who clearly loves his work.
