What followed was an hour-long ordeal that included an aborted landing where passengers could hear the wings making a "terrible grinding noise" as they failed to move into the right position.
Don't you just hate it when all those damn pesky wings do is make a grinding noise and refuse to move into the right position. Apart from F-111 and various other swing wing military types, anyone else find this a problem?
Just goes to show what to expect when you let the undeducated public give comment on matters that they know nothing about.
Had a similar incident at a remote airport several months back involving a 717 but thankfully no bottom feeding journos around to stir up even a whif of a story.
