200 passengers stranded for three days in Shanghai, hope to leave on Saturday. Wow.
The best part of the story:
Cancellations because of mechanical issues are not uncommon, and a mechanical problem in a far-away place — more than 13 hours from Newark — can be difficult to fix. However, outside of a blizzard or other major weather event, it's rare for passengers to be stranded so long.

Yes, fixing a plane in Shanghai is really difficult. It's not like PVG ever sees 777s.
