I am, for the moment anyway, stuck in a large airplane on a taxiway ar ORD. We will be returning to a gate shortly because of a mechanical problem that the pilot is not comfortable with. In the meantime, the plane is shaking arrythmically in a most nauseating fashion. It seemed to get worse at one point when the engines changed load. Probably 15 more minutes of this to endure. There are dogs barking downstairs...

Anyway, I can only imagine that strong winds might be to blame, but out the window I can see no indication that this is the case. The lawn grass isn't moving, but I can't see much else. Any other theories?
