My take, based only on the article:
Delayed 6 hrs, unknown reasons.
Finally board.
Cap axes for 10 volunteers to move to the back.
No one budges. Stalemate.
Former Sen complains that Cap needs to grow a pair and pick the "volunteers" himself.
Former Senator gets to walk.
Cap now needs 9 volunteers.
FIFY.
Seems like Cap needs to grow a pair.
