slight clarification on the fact: I happened to be at LAX around 9PM
that day to pick up someone: LAX did not shut down, domestic flights
were not affected, but all international flights that arrived after
2PM got held up on runways (which led to thousands of cars, which
presumably waiting for picking up friends/relatives, circulating LAX).
