Really, why do we bother?
This whole quote, in particular the bold bit, just highlights how ignorant and stupid passengers can be. Take a bow Jean and Gordon you are utterly deficient. Cretins.
From the Scotsman
Jean Walker said: “It was terrifying. We were about to take off and the plane started shuddering and there were lights flashing and smoke. The crew started shouting ‘get out, get out’.
“We were sitting at the wing, and the girl opened the door and we went out on the wing but there wasn’t a chute there.
“There were about eight or ten of us on the wing and I was saying people couldn’t come out because there was no chute.
“Two girls jumped off the wing on to the ground, they were OK.
“Other people got hurt coming down the chutes, they were inflated but the hostesses were just shouting ‘jump, jump’ and people were just banging into each other at the bottom and about four people were taken to hospital.”
Her husband Gordon added: “The stewardesses were panicking and shouting at people to go one way, then the other.
