She said agitated passengers started to smoke cigarettes and marijuana as others were on the brink of having panic attacks.
Akbari said she also started to panic and was shaking by the time the doors were opened around 4 a.m., adding that it has become easier to look back on now that she no longer remains stranded.
‘I could tell I was shaking a little bit, there were tears in my eyes, just because I was so overwhelmed by the situation. So it was definitely frightening,’ she said.
She added: ’It definitely was an adventure.’

DailyMail.com has reached out to Akbari and other passengers for more information and additional comment.
Akbari and other passengers recounted how they were told that the train had suffered a mechanical issue and they would need to wait for a rescue train that took hours to reach them.
Alexandra Patino, 30, was traveling from Queens to see her boyfriend in Edison, New Jersey – where she arrived around 7 a.m.
‘The updates were just so terrible, and no one was really letting us know what was happening,’ she said.
Ilia Rivera, 30, jumped on another train to Elizabeth, New Jersey and made it to her destination around 7 a.m. She told CNN that flood waters had risen almost as high as the train’s windows.
‘I’m sitting literally right next to the window, and I see the water at my level almost,’ she said. ‘I’m like, ‘Am I going to have to swim out of here?”
Passengers and family members reacted to news of the stranded train on Twitter
Rivera noted that rescue crews had arrived hours before the rescue train had finally arrived but hadn’t done anything to get the passengers off the train.
In a tweet around 3 a.m., NJ Transit said crews with the transportation agency and the newark nj to nyc Fire Department were on scene and ‘have been desperately trying to get the rescue vehicles to the train.’
‘However, the water around the train is simply too high for a safe evacuation. The train is safest right now while first responders examine other options,’ NJ Transit tweeted.
A spokesperson for NJ Transit told CNN: ‘The decision to keep the customers on the train was the safest choice as the train cars were sufficiently elevated above the flood waters.’
Ian Wolsten, 27, was returning home to East Brunswick, New Jersey from work and finally made it home around 6:45 a.m. after getting on another train to its Metro Park stop, he told CNN.
‘Once the power was cut off from the trains, it was absolutely helpless,’ Wolsten said.
‘It’s one thing for it to be pitch black in there, because we’re sleeping anyway, but there was no air conditioning and no ventilation, so you think with COVID, it’s like, ‘What the hell is going to happen if the air is not going anywhere?’
He added: ‘It just turned concerning very quickly.’
Twitter user Hue Hardon was also apparently on the train and wrote, sarcastically: ‘The water is soooo high. Look at the picture. I can see ground to walk off the train but no word from the crew. No plan.’
‘No option to get out and walk home. On a train with no ventilation no lights,’ Hardon tweeted.
Many others also took to Twitter to plea for help from NJ Transit as they were stuck on Train 3881.
NJ Transit had suspended all train services on Wednesday except for its Atlantic City Rail Line – though most train service has since resumed with significant delays.
‘Customers should avoid travel unless it’s absolutely essential,’ the agency’s website reads.
‘NJ TRANSIT service will continue to be subject to significant delays, cancellations and detours as storm damage is assessed and necessary inspections are made.’
New Yorkers were also stuck overnight inside Metropolitan Transportation Authority subway stations across the Big Apple.
The subway system had flooded in 46 locations, leaving 15 to 20 subway trains stranded, said Janno Lieber – the acting chair of the MTA. Two of the MTA’s Metro North commuter trains were also stranded.
Frank Dwyer, spokesman for the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY), told CNN that firefighters had to save hundreds of people from subway stations.
Beverly Pryce, a nurse, took an Uber from her home in the Queens borough of New York City to a bus station to try to get to work – but no buses were running.
She said she was stuck at the station until she made it onto a 7 train that took her to Times Square, where she arrived around 11:30 p.m. and had to stick out the night.
‘I’ve never seen nothing like this,’ she said. ‘I didn’t expect it to be this severe. I would not leave my house.’
Robert Hedglin left work in Manhattan around 9 p.m. and finally made it to his home in Queens early Thursday morning.
He told CNN that his train was stuck underground between two train stations for more than an hour where he was forced to get off.
Hedglin sat at a bar until 12:30 a.m., when he went to a diner because there were no cabs to get home. He finally was able to take a Lyft ride for $104.
‘I’m exhausted, frustrated, but at least I got home safe. Some others were not as lucky,’ Hedglin said.

NEW YORK, Sept 3 (Reuters) – Officials in New York and New Jersey said on Friday that improvements to infrastructure were needed to deal with extreme weather events after flash flooding from Hurricane Ida caught the U.S.
Northeast off guard, killing at least 46 people.
Ida struck the Gulf coast Sunday as a Category 4 storm and marched northward through the eastern United States, culminating in high-intensity rains and fast-rising floods in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut and New York on Wednesday night.
Thousands of people were stranded in their homes or cars and rescued by emergency responders or neighbors in rafts and life boats.
Many are now coping with water-logged basements, power outages and damaged roofs as officials assess the damage.
On Friday New York Governor Kathy Hochul said that people should expect extreme weather to occur with increasing frequency – a phenomenon scientists have for years been attributing to global warming and climate change – and that government needed take more aggressive action to save lives.
“Some people have called this a 500-year event. I don’t buy it,” said Hochul.
“No longer will we say, that won’t happen again in our lifetime. This could literally happen next week.”
Officials have confirmed 16 fatalities in New York, 25 in New Jersey, four in Pennsylvania and the death of a state trooper in Connecticut.
Hochul said deaths from Ida have shown the weaknesses in the state’s disaster notification system, including a lack of notifications in different languages.
She added that a portion of New York’s population might not own a cellphone, making them particularly vulnerable during dangerous weather events.
Hochul also pointed to mass flooding in New York City’s subways that was captured in videos shared widely on social media.
She announced a task force to evaluate the response to Ida and come up with measures to address shortcomings.
“For those who live in New York City in particular, it’s about building more resiliency around those subways,” Hochul said. “I don’t ever want to again see Niagara Falls rushing down the stairs in one of the New York City subways.”
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Friday announced a series of initiatives to tackle extreme weather events, including a more aggressive use of travel bans to get residents off the street ahead of a storm and evacuations to help people living in vulnerable spaces like basement apartments.
De Blasio estimated there were tens of thousands of basement apartments in the city in violation of building codes.
“We are now going to be speaking to people living in basement apartments – specific messages, specific cell phone alerts – telling people about the vulnerabilities they face in this kind of rain events,” de Blasio told a news conference.
FEDERAL AID
President Joe Biden was scheduled to travel to Louisiana on Friday to meet with Governor John Bel Edwards and survey damage wrought by Ida, which left residents there scrambling for water, food and basic services, with more than 800,000 households still without power.
The hurricane, which made landfall in Louisiana on Sunday, may ultimately claim more lives in the Northeast, where flash flooding caught residents off guard, causing some to perish in their basements and others to drown in their cars.
Multiple homes and a banquet hall in Manville, New Jersey, burned to the ground after igniting on Thursday night and early Friday morning, according to local news reports.
Drone footage posted on social media on Thursday by a local fire monitoring service showed one house on fire next to the rubble of a burned-down building, surrounded by flood waters that made it impossible for fire trucks to reach the area.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy acknowledged that his state has “a lot more work to do” on climate resilience, although he stressed that some steps have already been taken, including $1.5 billion investments in water infrastructure over the past three years and $22 million earmarked for flood-resilience projects.
“That’s really good progress but it’s quite clear we have a lot more work to do,” Murphy told a news conference in Millburn, a suburban town west of newark nj to nyc that was hit hard by flooding.
“This was a deadly and dangerous storm and we continue to face its after-effects.”
Murphy announced $10 million in state grants to help small businesses hit by the storm and echoed Hochul in flagging expected federal assistance in the form of funds and equipment after Biden approved an emergency declarations for both states.

A Muslim activist was removed from an American Airlines flight and detained for four hours after she reportedly confronted a first class passenger over alleged special treatment.
The incident happened on Saturday when Amani al-Khatahtbeh, a congressional candidate and founder of Muslimgirl.com, attempted to travel from Newark Liberty Airport in New Jersey to Charlotte, North Carolina.
According to a statement from American Airlines, the incident between Al-Khatahtbeh and an unidentified white passenger began during TSA screening.
American Airlines indicated that her arrest came after the on-plane confrontation, but her brother and the New Jersey chapter of the Council for American-Islamic Relations said al-Khatahtbeh was handcuffed for refusing to remove her hijab.
‘Our understanding is that Ms. Al-Khatahtbeh believed the other passenger, who is enrolled in PreCheck, was getting favorable treatment because he was allowed to proceed through security while she was removing her shoes,’ the statement read.
Al-Khatahtbeh, who was named one of the 25 most influential Muslim Americans by CNN, is the founder of the blog MuslimGirl.com
The woman is pictured speaking to a police officer who boarded the plane on Saturday morning
‘This led to a verbal altercation that continued through the terminal and on the plane where Ms. Al-Khatahtbeh confronted the passenger and began filming him before taking her seat,’ the statement continued.
American Airlines added that both PreCheck and non-PreCheck screeming were consolidated into one open lane at the time.
Al-Khatahtbeh later shared her experience on Twitter. She said the man had her removed from the flight because she made him feel ‘uncomfortable’.
‘I had the craziest experience in TSA this morning. An entitled white man behind me insisted on cutting me in line because I was ‘still taking my shoes off.’ When I said he could wait like everyone else, he started going off about how he’s ‘pre check’ and ‘first class”, she told her 28,000 followers.
Amani al-Khatahtbeh recounted the incident on her Twitter account Saturday morning as she attempted to fly out of New Jersey
‘He then proceeded to not only shove his things before mine, but then RUN THROUGH THE MACHINE and TSA did NOTHING! Not only did they not do anything, a TSA officer had the audacity to tell ME to ‘cut it out”.
‘Y’all know if I, a VEILED MUSLIM WOMAN, had the audacity to throw a temper tantrum and run through TSA security, I would have gotten BODIED. I would have been detained, missed my flight, possibly gotten charged, etc.’
Later al-Khatahtbeh updated her followers on the unfolding situation by tweeting: ‘Guys he made a complaint about me and @American is attempting to remove me from the flight.’
She then tweeted the airline directly stating: ‘ONE OF YOUR MANAGERS IS TRYING TO GET POLICE TO REMOVE ME OFF 9:55 EWR (Newark Liberty Airport) TO CHARLOTTE.’
Al-Khatahtbeh shared a photo of her being arrested by police and captioned it: ‘Simply flying as a Muslim woman makes people uncomfortable…unbelievable’
Al-Khatahtbeh’s brother shared an update on Twitter saying that he was en route to Newark Liberty to try and find further information. He also shared a video showing her speaking with police after being booted from the flight

Al-Khatahtbeh shared a photo of police escorting her off the plane, saying ‘Simply flying as a Muslim woman makes people uncomfortable…. unbelievable.’
On Facebook Live, she posted a video showing all passengers disembarking the plane after she and the man both refused to leave.
Her brother later shared an update on Twitter saying that he was en route to Newark Liberty to try and find further information.
He and CAIR-NJ executive director Selaedin Maksut both claimed that Al-Khatahtbeh was only handcuffed after she refused to remove her hijab.
Selaedin Maksut, executive director of New Jersey chapter of the Council for American-Islamic Relations, said Al-Khatahtbeh was handcuffed after she refused to remove her Hijab
‘@Amani2020 was handcuffed by EWR police officers bc she refused to take her hijab off during processing. Muslim woman should not have to endure such humiliation bc they hold firm to their religious beliefs. Do better,’ wrote Maskut.
‘Only after our @CAIRNJ attorney asked to speak with EWR Port Authority police did they remove the handcuffs and allow for @Amani202 to remain in the cell with her hijab.’
Additional footage of the incident was taken and shared by an American Airline passenger who witnessed it.
The passenger also shared video footage of al-Khatahtbeh speaking with airline crew and police before she was booted off the aircraft.
A photograph appearing to show a Muslim Congressional candidate being escorted off an American Airlines flight in handcuffs has sparked outrage on the internet.

A second clip showed a police officer coming aboard the aircraft to speak with the woman, who said she was happy to get off the plane so long as they also disembarked the man with whom she had an alleged dispute. She identified the man as being a white male who was seated in first class.
The New Jersey chapter of the Council for American-Islamic Relations told NJ.com that al-Khatahtbeh was detained by authorities for nearly four hours.
The woman in the footage is believed to be noted author and activist Amani al-Khatahtbeh. She took to her own Twitter account to relay the incident
Al-Khatahtbeh became the the first Muslim woman in New Jersey to run for federal office when she announced she was seeking to represent the state’s 6th Congressional District during the 2020 election. She was unsuccessful.
The activist - was named one of the 25 most influential Muslim Americans by CNN – is the founder of the blog MuslimGirl.com.
American Airlines added in its statement: ‘We are aware of an incident that took place between two passengers before and during boarding of flight 2029 at newark nj to nycnewark nj to nyc Liberty International Airport.

Gov Cuomo revealed the executive director of the Port Authority of NY/NJ, Rick Cotton, was among those to test positive for coronavirus and was now working from home. He said Cotton had been on the ground at various airports
The head of New York and New Jersey’s Port Authority, which oversees airports in both states, has tested positive for coronavirus as the number of cases in the state increased to 142 with 19 in New York City.
Rick Cotton – the executive director of the Port Authority – tested positive for coronavirus and was now working from home, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo revealed on Monday.
He said Cotton had been on the ground at airports as he oversaw the Port Authority’s response to the coronavirus outbreak.
The Port Authority is in charge of all five airports in New York and New Jersey, including JFK, newark nj to nyc and LaGuardia.
Members of Cotton’s team and senior officials at the Port Authority who may have come into contact with him are now also being tested and are currently in self-quarantine.
Cuomo admitted he could have been in contact with Cotton but said he hadn’t been tested because he is an ‘improbable positive’, which means he is unlikely to have the virus.
The governor implied that Cotton may have been infected at JFK Airport.
‘He has been at the airports, obviously, when many people were coming back with the virus,’ Cuomo said, adding that it ‘was one of the main airports for people coming in on those overseas flights’.
The Port Authority headquarters is located at 4 World Trade Center in Manhattan, which is a 72-story building that is also occupied by other companies.
It is not clear when Cotton was tested but journalist Katie Couric, who said she was an old friend, tweeted that she had seen him on Saturday.
When her Twitter followers quickly started urging her to self-quarantine as well, Couric added that they didn’t touch.
There are now 142 cases in New York state with 20 of those in New York City and 11 in New Jersey.
In addition to Cotton, the new New York City cases include a seven-year-old girl in the Bronx who is believed to be the youngest confirmed case in the country.
The girl, who is a student at Westchester Torah Academy, has no preexisting conditions and is recovering at her home with minimal symptoms.
Her family has tested negative to coronavirus.
