Air Transat L1011 evacuates at OIA
An Air Transat L1011 evacuated a full load of passangers on the taxiway in Orlando Florida on Sat 18Aug01.
Passengers and Flight Attendants spotted smoke coming from the air vents and got a strong smell of smoke.
The good news is that the aircraft was emptied within 2minutes via the chutes with no injuries.....
Pity it was an L1011 because it has a reasonably good reputation.

Tell that to the relatives of the people killed in Jeddah....if I smelled smoke on a L1011, (no fie protection in the canvas walled 'sealed' holds) I'd be crapping my pants too....

No fire protection except for the smoke detectors and automatic fire extinguishers fitted to the forward cargo in most and aft in some.
