Passengers likely missed flights out of Sea-Tac airport in Seattle and Chicago O'Hare International Airport thanks to activists blocking the roads in.

"Sleeping dragon" tactics, where protesters handcuff themselves together inside PVC pipes, make it a logistical nightmare for police to intervene. Some even go as far as chaining themselves to barrels filled with concrete or using their vehicles to clog the roads.
