Original Toronto Star caption: Terminal 2 was Ghost-like yesterday as some passengers slept on their luggage while waiting to be moved out. Air Canada usually passes 250 flights a day through the terminal; but only 15 moved yesterday. All domestic flights were cancelled except a few between Toronto and Vancouver that were re-routed between Niagara Falls; N.Y. and Seattle; Wash. Two air control supervisors manned the Toronto tower in case there were emergencies.
