Delayed In Colorado

Question: The passengers, of course, were lucky that the plane got stuck in the mud during the landing phase than during the takeoff phase, which would have caused quite a delay. My daughter was preparing to board her Horizon flight in Portland for Spokane Thursday when she was told that her plane and crew hadn’t left Spokane yet. So she waited two hours for takeoff. What is the longest you’ve ever waited for a flight?
