Airports are gateways to journeys, not
the final stop. But for 24 hours, we
made the world's busiest airport our
destination -- and discovered a world
with its own culture, marketplace and
transit system, people who make it
hum, even a taste of the exotic. In other
words, much like the places we visit or
hope to see.
On August 28, from 12:01 a.m. to
midnight, more than three dozen
journalists descended on Hartsfield-
Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
We found moments of love and loss,
hope and suspense, echoes of war --
both on the ground and in the sky. It's
a city within a city that's a second
home to 58,000 workers and a fleeting
stop for the 95 million passengers
whose nearly 1 million annual arrivals
and departures earn the airport its
"world's busiest" distinction.
We invite you to join us on our journey,
presented below in chronological order.
