It can't be posted here. The jump takes up two full pages inside. It's not much more than a long agony article. They left St. Martins in the afternoon, diverted to Tampa, spent the night, got to Detroit at 2 the next day and spent 7 hours on the tarmac. In between are endless stories of discomfort and freaking out.

It was well researched; the author obviously spent hours and hours listening to passengers tell their stories and piecing them together.
But it would have been more interesting if they went into ANY detail over the operations in DTW that day and how decisions were made during the crisis.
