It was an emotional homecoming as TV host Lisa Ling’s sister Laura and fellow journalist Euna Lee arrived back in the United States Wednesday morning after former President Bill Clinton was able to negotiate their release from North Korea.
A plane carrying Ling, Lee and Clinton landed at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, California at 5:50 am local time Wednesday.
Ling and Lee departed the plane once it pulled into a hangar. They were greeted by their families and former Vice-President Al Gore. Ling and Lee were both reporters for Gore's Current TV at the time of their arrest for illegally crossing the border into North Korea.
Clinton – who accompanied Ling and Lee on the 12-hour flight -- departed the plane a few minutes later.
