RFF's own on the ground team will be here later to fill us all in!
In the meantime, thanks to KIWI
teams are on the 730 PM flight to Christchurch and will be heading to tonight.
And sadly: The father/son team has had an accident. The father has ruptured his achilles tendon and is in a moon boot.
From this tweet, if true, they must have been in a much earlier flight than 7:30 PM:

Most likely they were on the 5pm flight. At least the team mentioned in the tweet.
It is Sun Nov 18 1:30am Atlanta & 7:30pm Christchurch.
