#1 im not a liar...the airlines are so screwed up right now, even i can admit that.
#2 with all the bags on the a/c it may have taken a while to remove the bags, and maybe the passengers were hard and refused to get off (i dont know i wasnt there so cant say forsure)
#3 they may have decided to cancel the flight all together in the end because the weather may have turned worse

december 19th was a bad day to travel. i went MCO-ORD and was delayed because the plane came from the east coast then ord (had to deice there as well) I have been stuck on planes for 3+ hours and i agree, it sucks and it was with a gov. regulated airline..didnt get squat out of them!! and it was to OP that stated the captain remembered the 3 hour rule, so if it wasnt in place yet then that wouldnt make scense. i heard about this rule becoming a possibility a few days ago. flights are full during this time of year.
