A hotel is suspected of mistakenly shredding the passports of 42 students from a Walsall, UK school, leaving them stuck in the US. Students at Barr Beacon School were informed that their passports had been destroyed by hotel management when they were on a ski trip to New Hampshire, according to a BBC story.
Despite having a flight home on Saturday, the pupils had to stay for an additional four days in order to obtain their emergency documents.
The unexpected turn of events, according to a mother, surprised her, but the school reassured her that they would handle the problem. The mother, who wished to remain anonymous, told BBC that it was “a dreadful shock really.”
“She has been she has gone she she she she she if him his the she she she she she she she she she she she her she she she she she she she she she And depending on their level of competence, they were either skiing black runs or blue runs, which was quite difficult.”
The mother told me that the instructor leading the excursion supported the youngsters and effectively communicated with them. She should have been asleep, but instead she stayed up all night answering our emails and queries.
Katie Hibbs, the head of the school, told the media that she was proud of the employees on the trip for handling the difficult circumstance.
She stated, “While the group was staying at the motel in New Hampshire, 41 of the passports were destroyed.”
The applications were finished by the British Embassy, and the students will return on Wednesday.
