Passengers were unwilling to “risk” going up in the air again to fly, but they still weren’t allowed to leave the plane.
A drive from Newark to Manhattan is about 40 minutes give or take depending on traffic conditions, which is certainly less time than it would take to leave the tarmac, land at another airport, then de-board.
