Strike strands travelers

Thousands of travelers scrambled to find flights, trains, hotel rooms or rental cars yesterday after Lufthansa pilots began a four-day walkout over job security that grounded at least 800 flights and upended travel across the continent.Deutsche Lufthansa AG quickly rushed to get a court injunction to halt the strike and send 4,000 pilots back into their cockpits before more harm was done to passengers and shareholders.
