Aw, shoot...
The Miami Herald reports that "All passengers and crew members left the plane safely by sliding down shoots...". I know firearms are popular there, but never would have guessed...

Watching the CBS4 news feed, they are saying the masks dropped down on landing - I am not going to speculate why....
Pax from the flight saying it was handled well by the crew/airline though, which is always nice to hear - good work guys
