This incident had an amazingly happy ending. One problem was that the air stairs were three feet too short for the 777 so people had to be helped up and down. Everybody seems to have gotten off and back on with the help of crew and local people. People and parts to recover the pland were flown in on a G-IV. There was no way to get bags off so mechanics had to work around them.
