Receival for national heroes

Upon landing, Hiro was assaulted by an almost unbelievable sight— a great number of people had shown up at the airport to receive them. 

The crowd was so huge that a moment after they landed they were informed that they couldn't even leave through the hidden chambers. It appeared as if the entire airport had been seized by the supporters who had displayed in great numbers. 

So, they didn't have any option but to face the supporters. 

When they were informed about the news, he hadn't thought much about it. For sure there wouldn't be more than a few hundred people. That's what he had thought initially after learning about the predicament from some people who had rushed to inform the news. 

But as they got closer to the exit, their auditory senses were bombarded with the cheers of people. As they got closer to the exit the more the noise grew. 

For a while, many couldn't help but ponder if a carnival was taking place.
