what's taking them so long to evac the plane! I've been seeing a plane stopped on the runway for 1.5 min no, that could be life or death in some cases.

ok almost 2 min sitting there and finally, then at the 4 min mark some guys breifcase breaks open and papers go flying :rolleyes:

GBryan84 -- will you be at the Shogun mini-do?

Looking forward to meeting fellow boxizens (?!) there!

Thank you everyone! I will be celebrating this weekend in Amsterdam and Berlin. Hopefully with an op-up as things look good right now.

I will not be at the Shogun mini-do:(. I have a MR LGA-IAH-SMF-IAH-LGA starting at 5pm on that Saturday.

Waiting for FD to respond.

When I was on the plane that evac'ed in SYR we waited until the FD was adjacent to the plane to direct people where they should go once out of the plane.

In other news, those crazy kiwi's.

How common sense. How European. It's so never gonna happen.

I assume since they didn't open the overwing doors and they didn't open the doors on the side of the plane with the fire - which they can't really see - that they waited to be told or to somehow communicate or confirm where the fire was.

When i worked at a flight simulator, the cabin had its own air systems. If there was a fire in the bay, alerting the cabin to evacuate would place people into the fire and open pathways to the bay from the outside which would increase oxygen flow to fuel the fire. Thus if there was a fire alarm the first response was to confirm if it was in the bay, the cabin, or the exterior areas around the bay. Then you decided how to evac based on the least potentially-fatal route.

Did that make sense? ;)

I'm thinking Tuesday the 19th or Friday the 22nd. One token per 12 hours, remember.

I think they were waiting for the fire dept to arrive and confirm fire so they don't open the slide over the fire and have a bigger problem. I think they also wanted them to assit with the easy victor.

On my CMH - CLE - LAS trip, I can't believe I heard this:

"What do you mean the flight to EWR is delayed?"

KNRG May 15, 2009 1:21 pm
