Was there a media contingent (usually situated directly beside the tarmac) to report on this?
The water cannon from the firetruck (in your picture) is often done for a media 'photo opportunity' so I thought maybe some media had indeed assembled for the occasion.
I flew London to Sydney (via Houston, Los Angeles and Honolulu - nowhere near a 'direct flight') in early 1991 with Continental. Houston was their home base, so we passed through there. Not much choice about that.
Shortly afterwards, Continental stopped flying here. Probably not a busy enough route, and stacks of competition, especially LA > Syd.
