Why has this thread been moved to spectators gallery?
Because PPRUNE is very 'Virgin Friendly' and you know much Branson hates bad publicity.
Particularly when.... It may transpire that the evacuation and injuries in this incident were entirely unnecessary. The crew had no confirmation of any fire in the hold but elected to send a planeload of passengers down the slides regardless.
In any evacuation it is enevitable that there will be casualties. The crew were aware of that, and this evacuation proved no exception.
Of course this thread got moved from R&N. This post will be deleted shortly
