"I just feel sorry for those that lost their job - they're the ones suffering." Thomas Cook customers speak to The Cube as some 20,000 workers face unemployment.

British travel firm Thomas Cook collapsed on Monday, stranding 600,000 holidaymakers around the globe and sparking the largest peacetime repatriation effort in UK's history.
