I thought planes had builtin escape slids?
so de-planing isn`t the problem
also why can`t they just get a bunch of cars to slowly drive people over the icey grounds(snowchains)
is their a flaw to my answer?
also why the hell make them think it`s a good idea to fly that plane with a stopped up toilet for the next few hours
I think if the planes smell it`s time to give passenger the obtion to take get off the plane
the toilet and smell stuff was mention on tv last night
most cases of air-rage is stupid
but this ain`t exactly the case
this would encourage it

Plane

If you activate an escape slide the aircraft is grounded untill the slide is repacked.

The airport and the airlines could have deplaned these people into busses and returned them to the terminal leaveing only the crew stranded on the acft.

Even in severe weather I don't see an excuse to leave passengers stranded like that for a full day , for persons with some health conditions this could be life threatening.
