American who fled Libya: "It was like a tsunami hit Tripoli"

Americans are fleeing Libya as unrest in the country continues. CNN's T.J. Holmes speaks to George Sayar and Cyrus Sany, who just returned to the United States from Libya.

The men described a chaotic scene. "Me and my colleague finally made it out after three hours of kicking and shoving and kicking," Sayar says. Sany described taking six hours to get from the parking lot to the airport ticket counter.

    The reason people are working in libya is all about the money you can make there, what other reason working for a unstable country in the middle east were you could get killed. This is the chance you take.
