Many flights at T.F. Green International Airport on Tuesday were forced to land in dense fog.
Passengers told NBC 10 that they were shocked.
“It was a little scary, you couldn’t see anything,” said Gabrielle Vazza, who lives near Boston and was flying back from Tampa, Florida. “I usually can see the ground when we’re close but you couldn’t see it at all.”
Many passengers aboard flights landing at T.F. Green Tuesday morning were just happy everything went well.
“When we came down you literally couldn’t see the ground until the plane got right above it,” said Nora Taylor, who lives in Connecticut. “It was so cloudy that it looked like it was snow against the blue line sky.”
NBC 10’s own Allegra Zamore got a first hand experience of how bad the fog was. She was flying from Newark to Providence when mother nature forced her pilot to make a u-turn.
“I’ve dealt with a lot of weather and a lot of delays but I’ve never gotten to my destination and then had to turn around,” said Zamore. “I thought I was in the clear, no snow, no rain, I didn’t think fog would be an issue.”
T.F. Green asks people who are flying out of Rhode Island to check with their airlines to learn potential delays.
