SALT LAKE CITY — On Monday, it seemed passenger David Olson was one of the lucky ones.

“It actually went very smoothly. I went through security so quickly in MSP,” he said.

Even though his travel day was smooth, however, it doesn’t make his current situation any less rocky.

“It was a very hard decision. It was very heart-wrenching because we both want to be here,” Olson said.

He came to Salt Lake from Minneapolis for a business meeting, but he was supposed to be with another person.

“Because of the uncertainty of travel,” Olson said, "the safest way was if only one of us came. If I don't make it back, the world will continue without me, but if both of us didn't make it back, that wouldn't be good.”
