Many people shared feelings of survivors' remorse, having landing safely in America while their loved ones are trapped back in Israel with such an uncertain future.
NEWARK, N.J. -- More people who have been trapped in Israel are finally making it back home to the Tri-State Area. Two flights landed Tuesday morning at Newark Liberty International Airport, where CBS New York's John Dias spoke with travelers as they arrived. 'What I saw -- I'm sorry -- it's been more than a week... I couldn't sleep,' one man said, getting emotional. 'We were there before, during, and it's still going on now.
'I met many stranded Americans, many American Jews in airports who said they're just going to the airport, going to stand there and wait until they get a ticket, not knowing what the destination was going to be,' said Acting New York Supreme Judge Rachel Freier. Freier is believed to be the first Hasidic Jewish woman to sit on the bench. She and her family were on vacation in Israel when emergency sirens began ringing over Jerusalem last Saturday.
