Reminds me of a memorable flight in Mali on a An24 some years back, where after landing ,locals stand up and run to collect their luggage ( standard procedure there) .The taxi was rather fast, so in the end he must have missed a turn off or something and applied full brakes, all those standing were imediately " upgraded " and as the cockpit door was left open , a few went right in and used the opportunity to start complaining heavily to the crew, a fight followed and the cabin crew chief found the best solution : open the doors : most exited the plane but the engines / props were still on an how no-one got injured (or killed ) is only understandable if you have lived in Africa for a while....
