Off main topic: The UA885 that was waiting departure on 28L:
After they've finished thinking 'Ouch' and 'lucky they were to the right of the centreline and not the left ...'
Do they have to shut down?
Did they take busses and steps to them, or just tug them back?
How long did they have to wait for a tug to get them back to to a stand?
Yes.
Word I had from someone on-scene (at the terminal) was that they were deplaned via portable stairs driven to the taxiway, and bused back to the terminal. They also said the aircraft (now empty) was pushed (backwards) to clear the taxiway, and then back on a gate to unload the baggage/freight. I don't have any info on how long any of all that took, but given the much higher priority tasks being undertaken, I don't think it happened very fast.
