I'm sorry, but I'm completely at a loss with this thread, it just doesn't make sense???

The aircraft, operated by Turkish budget airline Onur Air, was waiting for clearance to take-off
Ok, so was it sat at the holding point, or parked at the gate with the door open?

After the captain left, panic broke out, as one woman had an asthma attack and had to be given oxygen by the stewards, while others were in tears.
Why? The aircraft isn't going anywhere without a Captain? Unless he jumped out of the aircraft at the holding point and there was a very brave FO up front.

Passengers say one couple were banging on the windows, demanding to be let off the plane.
It's not difficult, surely they can get off the aircraft, the same way that the captain did
