Narrative:

After a red eye flight on taxiing in kiad on a foggy morning with a medical emergency, we landed at kiad. We were instructed to taxi into gate X. We landed on 19R. It was the first time for me into kiad. I asked the captain if he needed taxi instructions. He said he had been there before. Medical personnel were waiting for the aircraft to receive an ill passenger. To get to the gate in a hurry and to avoid fog buildup, the captain taxied on T1. We found out that T1 is limited to aircraft with wing span of 95 ft. The large transport is larger than that. We taxied into the gate with no problems.
