I think I saw a couple shoulder bags.<br />Here, cabin crew have been instructed to ignore bags if/when they get to the chutes, as any interference at that point just slows up the escape process. <br /><br />Crew is not going to be patrolling the aisles to admonish people to leave them, their job is to get to the exits to get them ready. The FAA has studied the problem, and has no viable solution.

Released the same day as the crash, I think.<br /><br />John Conner, Blayat Productions? He noted that emergency equipment arrived one minute after it came to rest. It appeared that the crews didn't seem to be as well organized as we would expect here. <br /><br />One of the pilots climbed out his window to reach the ground, then got assistance to climb up the slide to enter the passenger area to help people to exit the aircraft. I'm guessing the cockpit door was jammed closed, perhaps distortion of the structure. Useful thing to have cockpit windows that open!Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-37778299527166050152019-05-17T16:49:16.969-05:002019-05-17T16:49:16.969-05:00There appears to be a curiously notable lack of em...There appears to be a curiously notable lack of emergency firefighting and rescue equipment anywhere close for some good time after it came to rest.<br /><br />Collective-mandated vodka break, mayhap.Aesophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834464741531503378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-71104042202791568232019-05-17T15:39:31.439-05:002019-05-17T15:39:31.439-05:00Perhaps Russia has a pilot shortage.Perhaps Russia has a pilot shortage.kurt9https://www.blogger.com/profile/02101147267959016924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-72921236927439793312019-05-17T14:37:20.288-05:002019-05-17T14:37:20.288-05:00I knew a flight attendant who was on a flight that...I knew a flight attendant who was on a flight that caught fire on the ground, nothing as serious as this.
