I don't know if these persons were forced to deplane, but, if they were willing to stay on the ground, then let them be. Maybe, it was a panic attack. Who knows ?

Similar to what happened to another poster, I was also repatriated once by plane. I was fine, but insurance obliged me to lay on a stretcher ...
First time ever, I had 6 boarding passes in hand ... With the medic, the nurse and my spouse, we occupied 3 rows of 3 economy seats for a two-hour flight ...
(For those curious, 3 rows of 2 seats were folded, and the stretcher was fixed over them, at the rear of a A320)
Again, I was feeling perfectly fine ...
At least I was allowed to sit in a seat. Was a bit peeved that I missed out on a certain upgrade: insurance insisted it had to be 'flat bed'. But I already had a J ticket, so no upgrade required. Come to think of it: should have insisted that the second leg of the trip (on a 77W) was no 180 degree flat bed and therefore required an upgrade to F.

Gosh. Like many other tedious US interventions.
