Be patient folks. It is going to take a while.

Power still out seems. Nobody is taking off tonight.

1. Better yet

Be glad you're not there

3. Well thats good news for this strandee.

Our pilot just said they’re letting planes go up so people can deplane with portable stairs. Our plane is not near the front of the line.

4. Good cause their are 80 you could be behind. Take care. Belly breath.

And the wait will go by in a flash.

5. Great news

Have 10 family members trying to get back home to Atlanta!

6. That would be a worry.

7. We got an update! Only 40 planes ahead of us

to deplane with inflatable stairs. Pass the pretzels!

8. Hope the climate in the tin is just right.

9. Very comfortable.

10. GA Power won't speak with the media here.

MARTA (Atlanta rail) which is less than 100 yards from the terminal is running. The only thing out is the Airport. This is bizarre.

11. my tinfoil hat is a little snug. Think anyone could've hacked the airport

like maybe a Russian?

12. I live in Atlanta so I'll bite.

There is a virtual media blackout down here...no info...no press conferences...nothing.

15. I heard it was a fire in a generator room. But the timing sucks

[sarcasmo]

13. No backup generators?

[Croney]

14. Airport being evacuated so we cant go in.

Four hours on the runway so far. Now heading to a distant set of stairs that might be there. All very calm onboard. Will we traipse off into the night, looking for shelter? On next week’s episode...

16. They found the reason why the power went out.
