Ai-Ai delas Alas showed herself waiting, lying on the floor of an airport in the United States after the flight disruptions caused by the global outage of technology giant Microsoft.
The comedian documented her experience through a video she shared on her Facebook page on Friday, July 19.
“Nang dahil sa software global outage na ‘to, humiga na lang ako sa sahig sa Charlotte International Airport. Salamat at may dala ako kumot at unan,” she wrote in the caption. “Salamat sa Diyos kasama ko aking baby girl Sophia, siya ang nag-asikaso ng flight and luggages namin.”
Delas Alas said she was still thankful that her daughter was with her because she would have not known how to handle the situation if she were by herself. The comedian then just opted to travel by land to get to her destination.
“Moral lessons sa pangyayari sa aking sitwasyon, huwag magbyahe mag-isa lalo na ‘pag di ka naman magaling sa mga computer, online online,” she stated, adding that she was also famished at the time because she had already checked in the bag where she kept her food.
“Nakakalerky ang nangyayari sa mundo,” she lamented.
In a succeeding post, Delas Alas shared that she had already arrived in North Carolina and had gotten ready for an event.
“Mula sa sufferings dulot ng Microsoft outage sa airport, eto ako bumabangon muli. Hindi nag patalo ang katawang lupa ko sa sufferings,” she said.
Major airlines in the United States – American Airlines, Delta Airlines and United Airlines – grounded flights, while other carriers and airports around the world reported delays and disruptions.
The Philippines was not spared as the massive outage also affected banking activities and airline companies in the country.
