Atlanta airport blackout creates new friendships

Some unlikely friendships were born out of the chaos at Atlanta's airport which goes to show, you can always have faith in humanity.

ATLANTA - You'd think with all of the chaos and stress that came from the power outage at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, almost everyone would have short tempers and would be abandoning their need to show southern hospitality - that wasn't case for some of these travelers.

Unlikely friendships blossomed out of the doom and gloom from Atlanta's airport blackout.

Like this one:

JoAnn Adkinson from Wisconsin met Joy who was waiting in the wheelchair line when the fire marshal announced everyone needed to be evacuated from the terminal.

Both ladies were headed to Virginia and JoAnn took it upon herself to pair up with Joy and help her navigate through the airport.

Tia Gunz (left) and Cheryl Asbell (right) did what almost all ladies do best: share their toiletries with one another.
