Local mechanic came onboard (as you can see) but couldn't get the bin opened and eventually had to break the latch causing the flight to go mx. The flight eventually canceled and flew as a ferry flight with only crew up to IAD with all of us put on the next two scheduled flights to IAD (and fortunately, I had padded my conx at IAD )
If I was the cause of delaying a flight because of my luggage, I would be very embarrassed.
