We just landed in ATL and are stuck on the runway. We have heard about power outsge but nothing else. @ATLairport or @Delta please keep us updated.
What are you seeing now, Rob?
Same thing we have seen for past hour and a half. The runway has turned into a parking lot. Our @Delta pilot has done a great job keeping us informed.pic.twitter.com/CPKZ782zuq
Isn’t this how Die Hard 2 started? If you see Bruce Willis show up, I’d get out quickly


you win this thread!
My young boys are flying as unaccompanied minors & have been stuck on the tarmac at @ATLairport. Not one word from @Delta about their status so far.
Ugh. That’s no bueno. Can you call them on their phones?
I did. The rep “Randi” was flippant & hung up on me.
Damn. Ummm, I’m thinking. You could call the Atlanta PD and see if they can be of help.
My plane has been stuck on tarmac for 50 minutes. They told us back up generators failed.
We just landed about 15 minutes ago and are waiting among dozens of planes lined up on tarmacs.
Let's be clear. ATL has tons on connecting flights where passengers never leave the airport. LAX is the USAs busiest airport by true originating and departing passengers
Passengers stuck in planes or terminals: Keep those smartphones charged! It may be a long evening for many unfortunately.
Was it an outage, or a shut-off for non-payment?
