I was on the flight with my wife and kids. Scariest moment ever after 2.5 million+ miles. Still dont have our bags but thats the least of my worries. Crew was great. Biggest issue was people who needed wheelchairs needed to be carried down. Very thankful today.

Oh and yes definitely collapsed, right after touchdown. All we can see was sparks and smoke right behind my 8 year old daughters window... smoke lasted for about 15 min after we stopped. We didnt know if engine was on fire. They removed a panel to check before deciding to go with stairs vs slide. Trying to upload pics.
