The Eagle flew, landed, and can't get off the ground...

It's about 4:30 p.m. here, and I just got a call from Abbie. Instead of being about 4 hours along on her 9.5-hr. flight from Heathrow to Dallas-Ft.Worth, she's still sitting in the plane at Heathrow; the passengers have been boarded since about 12:30. They were fed on the plane (and by now they're fed up being on the plane) and have been given a 5 o'clock possible departure time. So, she'll be delayed 5 hours or so, anyway. I don't know what view she has out the window, but I'll bet it's not one you would willingly choose to sit and look at for hours on end.
