They Sat in the Plane at the Gate for Seven Hours...

When I heard this story yesterday, I was wondering what kind of airport doesn't have a place on the airplane side of security barriers inside the terminal?

Was this like the last airport in the U.S. where you board from a rolling staircase on the tarmac? Even in those, you have to exit to the tarmac from somewhere. WTF?

My worst was being kept on a plane on the ground in Denver after an "emergency" landing, with no air for 2 hours, and my girlfriend going crazy and getting loud because they wouldn't let her off the plane to smoke a cigarette.

Fortunately, this was pre-9/11 ... or we would have been arrested for the slight disturbance she made.
