Over 200 passengers were stranded at a remote Canadian military base for more than 21 hours due to mechanical issues on a Delta Air Lines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit. The passengers were forced to spend the night in the base's barracks as the airport suspended operations. Delta dispatched a rescue flight, but faced another dilemma as the crew ran out of duty time. A second relief flight was sent before a record-breaking blizzard hit the area. Delta apologized for the inconvenience and attempted to avoid passengers being trapped in the blizzard.
