contraildash Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) Looked liked a blown tire and/or brake fire. Either way, what caught my attention was the fact that numerous people were evacuating the jet with their luggage. WTF? I'm sorry, if I'm evacuating from a jet that's on fire...I'm not stopping to grab shit. Fox News Link Edited May 29, 2011 by contraildash
Tinker51 Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Similar deal with Southwest at Hobby. Youtube link Evac begins around the 3:15 mark
JarheadBoom Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) I was jumpseating on Delta when the MD-88 left rear brake locked up in ATL. Are there front brakes on Mad Dogs now?? Sorry, had to do it... Edited May 29, 2011 by JarheadBoom
SuperWSO Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Are there front brakes on Mad Dogs now?? Yeah, and if you only squeeze the front brakes, the plane flips over. 2
AZwildcat Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 That's funny, I just landed at ATL on a Delta MD-88 on Friday. Dude side loaded the gear on landing, pretty sure we had a nice bald spot on the taxi back. Thump thump thump.

People under that amount of stress and confusion act irrationally by trying to act normal. They default to what they know by gathering their familiar belongings and exiting the plane. There are people holding coats and bags standing on the wings of a jet in the Hudson river. Some survivors of United 232 were found walking around in the field, severely burned, carrying their luggage. Interesting stuff if you're into that sort of thing; or if you need a topic for an ERAU master's paper.
