Normally I walk with a bit of a limp, but I'd be running warp speed.

I also thought the same about some of them carrying their
hand luggage You are not supposed to bother with it but
quite obviously they did.
Saying that one of the staff told people to keep in their seats.
No thank you I would be going for the door. I think those
with the luggage were probably near the door than some of the
others. I always think I would be good at that running and
jumping down but I would need a stiff drink afterwards

I see theres been a lot of talk about these passengers , how they could have been putting other passengers life's in danger ..And that is how i see it .
I would be having some cross words with them that was holding up other passengers while they were getting hand luggage out of the lockers ..

Re: Your Plane is on Fire

My son as I've said before is a no 1 steward . Flown millions of times , has luckily never had this happen . I asked him how he would cope , he said he would get people off quickly , telling them leave luggage , he would do his utmost to get children and women off . He would do all he could , but it's also up to others to help themself.

Non the less , a very frightening thought
