how long was the delay for your takeoff?

I've had some close calls in denver. One while landing and one one the ground while taxiing.

Those people were very lucky, but unlucky.

Thirty eight people were taken to the hospital and other sources are saying 2 are in critical condition while some have broken bones. People were most definitely hurt.

we were delayed minimally. i will say everything on our plane was handled professionally and I really don't think they tried to hide anything. we had directTV on our flight and saw the news update while on the flight.

I saw this on the news and thought of you, wondering when your flight was scheduled.
Glad your flight was handled well and you're okay.
Whew!
