Tragic, also reported that there were members of the USA Figure Skating Team and family. 

The last time I was at Reagan I had to spend the night in a chair. Flight kept getting pushed and then we finally loaded. We spent a lot of time on the ground and finally were 2nd in line for takeoff, when the engines shutoff. The crew had reached their max hours for the day.

Took us back to the terminal and unloaded us and were told to standby while they "rounded up" a new crew. After a couple more delays around 11:30 PM they said we'd have to wait for the original crew to get their "crew rest" and we'd takeoff at 6 AM the next day. 

Of course everything in that shithole Airport closed down around 11:00 PM
