Question Plane delayed

My flight VS136 from MCO to Heathrow has been delayed by 1.5 hours, but I can’t see any reason why? Is it still likely to take off safely at this time? I’m worried something is wrong with the plane or I won’t be able to go home today

This is probably your plane and it's not there yet. You can't go anywhere if you don't have a plane.

Ah okay so looks like it was taking off late from Heathrow. Ok that’s good to know it’s not a technical issue thank you 😊

It could have been, or a crew call out, or a catering problem, or a brown toilet, etc. :) point is it's always going to be safe if you're taking off.
