I'm not sure about this one... Of course, it sucks, and I'd want to get off too, and yes, I'd be upset... But what exactly is the crew supposed to do? Yelling at them won't solve anything.
They could have let them off the plane until customs was able to get there.
THIS^.
Passengers preferred to be arrested and jailed? Fainting? Throwing up? Those passengers were treated with a callous indifference. That's just wrong. Last I knew it is illegal to hold anyone against their will. When did that change?

... They would still have to be "held against their will" wherever they landed. Which is what happened at Newark. They couldn't just leave when they landed. This wasn't come domestic flight.

How do "customs get there?" Bring in all of their equipment and computer software, and process everyone at a random airstrip? How long would THAT take? Where would they be coming from?

And "get off the plane" and go where?
Frankly that isnt mine, yours or the passengers problems. The airline should be the one taking care of it. The plane landed at Newark International Airport. Are you telling me that they dont have customs agents there?
As for where to go, keep them in the lounge area, what would be wrong with that?
