Video: Superstorm Sandy: UK schoolgirls stuck in New York A group of four teachers and 38 students from Leicester High School for Girls have been left stranded in their hotel on 42nd street in New York, not knowing when they will be able to return to the UK. Head of Sixth Form Angela Lancini and her colleagues have been tasked with finding a way to get their students home since they cannot get to Washington DC for their return flight. The group, who are on a cultural trip to New York, have been told by the hotel to remain in their rooms in case the power fails, Angela Lancini said. Speaking via Facetime on an iPhone, student Sherene Modi said: "you do get a bit worried looking outside with the black clouds and wind." "It is worrying that we could be stuck here until the weekend," Angela Lancini added.
