Wow, it was 111F inside the plane! (according to how the journalist wrote the article)

How does this happen during taxi? Return for emergencies? Was a pack on MEL then the the other one failed?
Lots of fill ins required to complete the picture on this one.

Confusing article - are they at the gate with the jetbridge? The article says they can get off if they want. Are the pilots wearing their hats ?

Any chance you have the ship number? I'd be curious what was on MEL.

Ship numbers in this thread but I find it hard to believe any Captain would accept a aircraft with a pack inop with temps above 110.

Happens all the time on older aircraft like the 73N, 757 and 717. Some older planes, even with a working APU, have inadequate airflow on the ground for extended taxi in high temps. 717 was like a sauna in Summer time. Combine that with record heat in Vegas and an unexpectedly long taxi out and problems like this arise.

You forgot: Combine that with… a captains willingness to disregard all the threats and succumb the pressure (from management? “complete the mission” mentally?) to move an unsafe jet,
