For once, the local news didn't really overstate it!
Oh really?

Cheers Larry.
If it had been an emergency landing the evac would have been at the end of the runway. Obviously the plane was just outside the terminal. AZCentral.com is owned by Gannett which owns the NBC affiliate Channel 12 here in Phoenix. Remember this is the same company that owns that bastion of journalism, USA Today.

I agree - the upper deck slide looks like way more fun. That's definitely for the big kids only...
I might cancel my return from PHX in F next month and see if there's a seat on the u/d in J instead...
Glad everyone was safe - awesome to see. Do we know which aircraft this was yet (reg).
If I was seated in upper deck I would have taken the stairs down and slid down the main cabin slide!
