Tragic reading indeed.
So is the AirCanada DC9 toilet fire and so many delayed Evac.
What if the " bomb" went off when he waited for stairs??
On the last one what if there was a fire? ( Mighty odd one that one by the way!!)
A good start is : Stop into the wind ON rwy!
Evaluate!!
As did our A330 friend. ( For obvious reasons)
A non-obvious Evac is a tricky one , as a lot of uneducated and half educated people will pitch in.
( Some airlines I know of regularly fly with Pursers with less then 2 years total experience, and then there is the fire fighters that drive over pax!!)
So when the day comes, lets hope we have done it by the book AND used airmanship, and that we have a good reason for the final call:
"Evacuate using all available exits"
Trying my very best not to make that call, if its up to me.
I suppose we all do, after all the ultimate goal of the exercise is to stay off CNN and out-off HQ with their old biscuits and tea.
Safe Deboarding to All
