This seems like an exceedingly poorly handled situation, especially when you consider that this happened at a hub (thanks to tv for flagging this)…
According to reports from passengers, they ended up being stranded on the plane overnight, after the flight was canceled, but there were no buses to transport passengers back to the terminal.
The flight had a rolling delay, but passengers were still driven to the plane, which was departing from a remote stand. Once onboard the plane, the rolling delay continued. After some amount of time — it’s not clear exactly with what timeframe — the flight had to be canceled. The flight status page on Lufthansa’s website shows the flight as having a delayed 11:56PM “departure,” but of course the plane never actually went anywhere.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
