The disruptions were intensified when an Air Canada plane collided with a firetruck on landing, forcing the airport to shut down for hours and delaying hundreds of flights. Travelers and families wait in departures, some optimistic a funding deal will pass, while many end up canceling or rescheduling trips amid the chaos.
