Evacuation from B747 at Johannesburg
As an ex Cabin service director on wide bodied aircraft, including B747 & B777 aircraft, I have found it interesting to read comments made about evacuation from the B747 incident in Johannesburg
Many of the comments have been frivolous and not understanding of the situation.
The situation was not catastrophic at the time of the incident, and did not develop into a catastrophe.
From unconfirmed reports , there was no fire, nothing to initiate a full blown evacuation.
The flight deck crew and cabin crew initiated an evacuation in the situation that they had been trained for.
