We literally had to disembark in the middle of the taxiway.. tat was wierd. ;p
They decided to call up a new set of crew so all of us were sent home.
I was at the airport since 9pm. My flight was to depart at 11:55pm. We were stuck on the tarmac until 2am when they finally decided to change crews. I finally got home at 5am.

Ok let me try to explain this in English. When planes are parked at the gate they are usually pushed back and taken to the taxiway or in some instances to the runway. They don't do this under their own power. They use a special tow vehicle otherwise known as a push back truck. These tow vehicles are often wide, squat vehicles loaded with weights which push aircraft back via tow bars connected to the nose wheel. The "tug" is the connection between the tow vehicle and the nose landing gear of the aircraft. In the case of SQ 346 they couldn't disconnect the tug which kept you grounded :( Hope this helps explain what happened. Ironically I was thinking of heading to ZRH late next month after my SIN/NRT trip.
OOH. Hello. And Thank u. :) Apparently u knew abt wat happened.. hehe. ;p Word gets around huh? :p
