FORTUNATELY they are going to those 'proximity' switches that then snap the water on and off ...It wasn't so fortunate at the Cleveland airport during the blackout. Reportedly there wasn't a single flushable toilet in the whole place, with thousands of stranded travelers.

Reportedly there wasn't a single flushable toilet in the whole placePerhaps a good thing - 'lift' stations (lift stations pump sewage from *low* aras to high areas so's the sewage can flow to the plant) weren't functioning either (nor was the sewage treatment plan). New York at least has an ocean nearby they can 'release' that stuff into!
