Man, thats gonna suck. Wonder how many "you ruined Christmas" posts there will be on their social media.

I bet, given how hysteric the media in the US is about this, they would have all been scared to coughs about this possibly being a terrorist attack of sorts- especially that close to Christmas.

They do - but from what I understand the airport is unable to open doors & gates, move or align Jet bridges etc etc so they have been physically unable to unload planes or move passengers.

I have seen reports of PAX being deplaned by use of escape slides.
