Gordon R Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Well done to the cabin crew for what appears to be a textbook evacuation. Condolences to the friends and family of those who may well have perished on the Coastguard plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 2 Author Report Share Posted January 2 Yes, unfortunately it now appears that the 5 crew in the Coast Guard plane perished. Now the investigation to why two aircraft were on the same piece of runway will start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agriv8 Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 First airbus a350 that has been tested in a real life crash ! Made with a lot of plastic and composites it delayed the fire long enough for the evacuation. The cabin and fire crew need a pat on the back! Amazing when you looked at the crash footage!

Keith 66 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 An interesting take on this story was that the passengers exited the plane obeying instructions with none trying to take luggage with them. It was reported that in the Dubai crash a few years ago (Emirates flight 521) passengers tried to take luggage from overhead lockers & made the evacuation a lot longer than it shoud have taken. This attracted heavy critiscism at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
