"I'm out!!! Got out on the Orient Queen yesterday to Larnaca. Am now in Athens and will be in Chicago tonight. More then. Feel free to share this, as I don't have time to post yet. Got lots of pictures of the evacuation. And about half of the passengers WERE NOT U.S. Citizens!!! Lebanese nationals with Green cards and what all. My group were almost the ONLY people speaking English. It was sickening. MAKE THEM ALL PAY!!! They were treating it as a vacation cruise oblivious that their country is being destroyed. We were so mad we couldn't stand it. I'm still steaming . . . ."

Maybe someone would want to let Drudge know about this?

The conditions on that ship are deplorable. I heard from Doug McIntyre that they don't make the dealer hit a soft 17! Where's the outrage?!

Welcome home rebel_yell2 (I guess your plane should be somewhere over North America by now)! It sounds like most of the folks on the boat were Lebanese visiting family or living in Lebanon. I am surprised that the green card holders were let on the boat while some American citizens were left at port. Were they accompanying anchor babies?

Don't know how many TY2 threads there are, but I don't see my name on any posts here, so I'm adding one.

Welcome home!

Glad to see you missed out on the duck ride! After seeing a tour of the Orient Queen today, I can understand how the "3-hour tour" turned into a 5-hour, then 8-hour trip to Cyprus, lol. So many laps to swim in the pool, so many buffet meals to eat!

Do you think the fact that you went to Athens might have made a difference in the mix of passengers you were with? It seems to be a similar situation on the other flights that came in, but I've only seen a few interviews of those.

I believe the next flights in are to arrive at midnight tonight, 3Am and 4Am tomorrow. I'm trying to catch as many interviews as possible; but I hope someone is doing a better job of it than I am. So much to keep up with!

Have a good rest!
