Some bright spark at LHR decided ground staff should get experience of evacuating an aircraft on fire and we all had to go and do so on the airports fire simulator aircraft. Not a very pleasant experience which having done it I am even more amazed some cretins at LAS hung around long enough to get their carry ons. https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/14/121.291 |
Re: Planespotting
I looked up the certification test for the A380 and that says 50% of the exits. When they did that they got 873 people out of 8 of the 16 exits in under the 90 seconds.

The 777 is a big plane. Only the front and rear doors were opened on the hot side so pax were well away from the fire. Although I did read an account of when the rear door was opened, smoke did start to come into the cabin.
It was just surprising they even opened the doors on that side since some airlines train not to use exist on the side of any fire if there is a side with no fire. |

American Airlines made an oops on August 31st when they flew a non-ETOPS A321 from LAX to Hawaii.
The return flight cancelled and flight was ferried back. I didn't believe it at first, but an AA spokesperson has confirmed it did happen. How American Airlines flew the wrong A321 to Hawaii — Brian Sumers |

I'd sooner they found a Vulcan to keep in the air than try to resurrected Concorde, an aircraft that unfortunately is remembered for a catastrophic crash caught on camera that killed all on board. |
