Starting Aug. 17,2011, Jaeger Mah decided to be stranded for 80 days and 80 nights at the Vancouver International Airport.Jaeger Mah has now completed his 80 day stay at the Vancouver International Airport.
During the summer he won the Live @ YVR contest to become a live-in reporter at the terminal and has stayed on Sea Island ever since.
Mah stated:
“This is the biggest thing that’s happened to me, It becomes your world, it becomes your life.”
Through behind-the-scenes tours, job shadowing, interviews with travelers, and staying overnight in the Fairmont looking out onto the North runway, Jaeger has been able to crank out dozens of videos and blog posts about life at YVR. Video production has been a hobby of Jaeger’s for years and he has been able to hone his skills through this intense schedule.
He admits that he had no idea how airports operated when he signed up but now that he’s been able to follow and document some of the 24,000 people who work on Sea Island, he has a deep appreciation for all that makes YVR tick.
