"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."
It took the passengers 3 1/2 hours to get back to the terminal.
