evac from 7474
While watching the whole episode from another taxiway, i can definately say I saw pax exiting the aircraft from the Left rear chutes, then running around the tail when they realised what side they were on.
The most comical part of the event was as the pax left the aircraft they proceded to vacate the area asap, who wouldn't. However the point to which they were running was the active runway. I guess one or two pax looked up and saw the 777 on short final materialise out of the murk, then they all decided it was safer to run back to the burning 747.
Since it was India all my crew and I could do was shake our heads and laugh. Lucky no one was hurt is all i can say.
