what say you?
Such extremes happen.
Should passengers be allowed to deplane under extreme temperatures?
Once off the gate the a/c is run by th engines. They don't shut them both down. Thus a/c will still run. I did six hours at JFK of taxing and waiting, plus going back to gate once, and unloading at old T3 finally last August. One engine is all that is needed to keep a/c going.
