What would you take with you when evacuating a plane on fire?

My family,and i mean it when i say,anyone getting in my way emptying overhead lockers would get decked.I like a joke but i cannot stand stupidity.

I don't see why a fire on a plane should mean I lose my Victoria Se...I mean CK underwear.

I wondered where my pants went !

I was at university in Manchester in 1985 when Flight 28M caught fire on the runway at Manchester airport causing the deaths of 55 passengers and crew. I remember being on the upper floor of a building facing out towards the airport and seeing huge clouds of black smoke billowing up into the air. I was shocked when I picked up a copy of the Manchester Evening News the next day and discovered what had happened.

I have just been reading about the tragedy, and one expert claims that some safety improvements have still not been brought in 30 years after the tragedy - LINK!

Let's celebrate the passengers' survival not castigate their evacuation actions.

Everyone survived, there were no serious injuries. The cause of the minor injuries is speculative.

The evacuation procedure worked.

<SPECULATION> I wonder what percentage of airliner emergency evacuations are performed unencumbered by personal baggage </SPECULATION>

I would take the nearest young lady, not my luggage.

(We're all going to die, blah blah, last chance for...)

You would have to be quick to get the deed done before the evacuation was complete, then again with nobbers getting luggage perhaps you would have time to join the 20ft high club.

I would have to take the duty free trolley just to sell, i mean they make more money than crack dealers ! £6.20 for a dwarf size tube of pringles, and £23 miniture snhot of whiskey !

I'd need to rescue my teddy bear.

The emergency egress testing is done without having to push past people getting into overhead lockers, and presumably also without the possibility of a grossly overweight passenger getting stuck in the door...

That would indeed be some smooth talking. The plane is on the ground, and the young lady in question has just spent time in Vegas, so has probably built up some resistance to chat up lines.

(I've only been to Vegas once, but I hated it. If i'd been on this plane, it would have the risk of having to spend more time in vegas rather than the proximity of death that would have worried me.)

Fixed.
