12:33 AM Update

At approximately 9:30, they got us off the plane. At 10pm they moved us to another gate, saying a plane would be there in 15 minutes from a hangar. It is now 12:35, and we're still here. After 3 hours of no information, the gate agents finally walked away because they got tired of answering questions, and they proceeded down to the secure area past the gate and sat down.

After a while, the captain came out to tell us they had pulled the gate agents because, "y'all thought we were makin' stuff up".

He then told us they had pulled a plane that was under repair out of the hangar, and we would have to wait for the results of some tests before they could allow us to board. He also stated that anyone who didn't believe him should go home now, as he wouldn't be taking anybody on board his plane who didn't trust him, since we could threaten the lives of other passengers by ignoring his orders in the air.
