Google: "More than 300 passengers of a Pakistan International Airways (PIA) flight escaped through emergency parachutes after the plane caught fire at Manchester Airport in northwestern England on Tuesday, Xinhua reports."

Where do they keep the parachutes for pax? How come they never mention that "your emergency parachute is under your seat" during the F/A safety briefing? Does this incident mean all pax will now have to wear parachutes as a matter of course? Isn't it a bit risky jumping from an aircraft that's on the ground hoping your parachute will open in time? Google really does need to address these issues if they want to be taken seriously.
