There had been some smoke, however, they would return to the apron and disembark there. The passenger added the captain had also made an announcement he didn't want to jinx the passengers, however, the aircraft had been in the hangar prior to departure, so that they were able to immediately depart without the necessisity to de-ice and thus would bypass other aircraft waiting to be de-iced.
