Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson lost power for about 11 hours forcing more than 1,000 flight cancelations and loads of weary passengers delayed and frustrated.
Chick-fil-A, which is famously known for closing on Sundays, provided 2,000 meals to help out while power was restored, according to Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed.
Update: Power has been restored to Concourses A, B, F, T and the @ATLairport atrium. We have provided 2,000 meals so far. Special thank you to Dan Cathy and @ChickfilA for their support. #atlairport

The outage might have occurred when a fire caused massive damage to a Georgia Power underground facility, according to a statement from Georgia Power released Sunday.
