Busy Day At O'Hare And Midway As Thanksgiving Travelers Head Home

CHICAGO (CBS) -- The Thanksgiving dinner is done, the leftovers are packed up, and it's time to go home. That made for one busy day at Chicago airports Sunday.

O'Hare Internations Airport has reopened its "people mover" system and is extending hours until 10:30 p.m. Sunday to accomodate the surge in travelers.
