Takes time to evaluate the state of the aircraft, get it suitable for towing (cargo needed to be offloaded, on the runway, where no equipment is stored near) so there is quite a logistical task for them to complete.
I can understand though that those who do not have much background knowledge in airports would get frustrated, but there is more to it.. Airport won't put out a press release until the information is correct and they can give some concrete information.
Good shout Tigger, at least someone has a bit of wit.
El bunto, only spotters knew? Knew nothing because you live in the world of internet rumour and people with an over inflated sense of their knowledge on the subject, who like to get irate and spout their certainty immediately. People need to learn to wait a minute or two again.
