And different countries have different rules on what chemicals are legal, so there's no guarantee that even a prescription and an open pharmacy will suffice.

      From what I understand, controllers can't really tell pilots what to do. They can make strong suggestions and ask leading questions, but the pilot has to say the magic words. Look at a number of GA and even airline incidents on this channel where the pilots are dithering about declaring an emergency, and the controllers are trying to get them to, so they can help.

      @@NoewerrATall ATC can declare an emergency for an aircraft. They cannot, however, order the aircraft to evacuate. The flight crew needs to examine the situation and make sure the evacuation is safe before making that call. Don't want the FA's to pop a door only for the slide to get ingested into a jet engine! Nor do they want them to open a door on the potentially-burning side of the aircraft (both due to the potential for encountering fire and also due to people getting in the way of ARFF.) Ultimately, the Pilot-in-Command has final authority to do whatever needs to be done to maintain safety.

      "very good" as in that helps the pilot decision while maybe being in doubt to evacuate or not. Knowing there always are minor injuries (old people going down a glide slope) he wants to be sure it is needed. Actual flames still going on make the decision easier. I think that is the "very good" reaction.

    Better than average job by everyone but an excellent job by the controller, absolutely unflappable. As a former ATC'er I can assure you the tower cab gets really busy during an event like this. Multiple radios are barking and it's the controller's job to prioritize actions taken. Did you notice she declared the emergency well before the aircrew? This is a duty of a controller when it becomes obvious as it saves time.

    Everyone was so professional and remained so very calm the entire time. The landing gear is on fire and by the demeanor of the captain and tower it sounded like it could have been a routine situation. And props for the captain on making sure all passengers and crew were off before evacuating himself and taking a moment to pick back up the headset after I assume checking the cabin personally and ordering the first officer to evacuate (I assume they were the second to last off) to tell tower that everyone was off and that he was about to evacuate himself.
    It was cool to hear the ARFF chief's orders to his trucks and directing them all where to go to ensure the passengers were able to evacuate safely and get them to a safe area away from the fire and away from where vehicles would be traveling.

    • @44R0Ndin

      It's only fun to slide down the evacuation slide if you're 1. wearing a long dress or pants or something of that nature that covers most of the skin on your legs, and 2. That item of clothing that's covering your legs isn't made of (most) synthetic fibers.
      Why is this? Heat buildup. That slide isn't nearly as slippery as you might think, and that's on purpose. The slide itself is doing part of the job of stopping you "at the end" by preventing you from getting going all that quickly in the first place. But the potential energy of your human body being elevated above the ground by the height of the slide has to go somewhere, and just like with the brakes on a car after going down a long hill, that energy gets turned into heat.
      If you're wearing nothing, instead of getting turned into heat, you get a very nasty case of road rash.
      If you're wearing synthetic fabrics on your legs, the heat melts them and they stick to your skin, meaning you need a trip to the burn ward.
      And no I'm not joking about that trip to the burn ward, the heat is really intense enough to melt the clothes that you're wearing, if they can be melted.
      That's part of why I always wear denim jeans when I fly on an airliner. It solves some problems that might otherwise happen if I was wearing shorts or synthetic fabrics.

      @@44R0Ndin Hmmm... I find it unlikely that the friction with the slide on a 757 would create enough heat to melt clothing. Might be more believable from the upper deck of a 747 or A380, though. A 757's door sill sits about 12.5-13 feet off of the ground. It's not that much higher than many playground slides. The amount of heat dissipated into your clothes and skin would be less than if you were to slide down a 1-story-tall fireman's pole and that doesn't melt clothing, despite the heat being spread over significantly less surface contact area.
      Of course, I don't doubt at all that you'll have an uncomfortable time if your bare legs are making much contact with the slide. But that 'burning' is really not burning at all, but rather a similar sensation created by irritated and/or injured skin. The heat you feel there is produced by your body as part of the inflammatory response, not heat from an external source.
      As for the potential energy argument, to do a bit of calculation, a 150 pound (68 kg) person descending 4 meters (a bit more than the 757's deck height) on Earth releases about 2,666 J of energy. This is enough to heat 1 kg of polyester by approximately 2-2.5 degrees Celcius. Perceivable, but not enough to cause a burn. Of course, your car (or your landing 757!) is releasing a heck of a lot more than 2,666 J of energy into its brakes. For comparison, a 1,400 kg Nissan Altima stopping from 100 km/h (27.8 m/s = 62.1 mph) must dissipate around 1,080,000 J of energy, around 500 times as much as our passenger descending from a 757. Of course, it should also be considered that the exact same amount of potential energy is released by the passenger if they simply walk down a flight of stairs to the ground vs. taking a slide and that doesn't exactly melt their shoes (unless they have some seriously shoddy shoes.)

      @44R0Ndin Рік тому

      ​@@j_taylor Yes, and if you apply a blowtorch to a stack of newspapers only the top few sheets will char, yet charring still happened. Likewise with the polyester clothing, you have a not small amount of mass applying friction forces (and the resulting heat) on a rather small area, the factor that matters is watts not joules. And that friction is dissipating energy rapidly, which means a lot of watts.
      So the blowtorch analogy is valid, and if you apply a blowtorch to someone's polyester clothing while they're wearing it, the outer layers of it will easily melt.
      And if the "outer layers" are something like rayon pantyhose, you're in for a bad time. The rayon will melt, stick to your skin, and burn you, meanwhile since there's now places where the rayon has melted away, there's additional direct contact between your skin and the coarse surface of the escape slide, adding abrasions to the thermal burns. Like I said, "1 injury" is a phenomenal result, given the headaches that just "the wrong kind of clothing" can bring to a trip down an aircraft's escape slide. And the problem only gets worse when the aircraft gets bigger, so this is even more of an issue on an A380 or 747's escape slides, for instance.

    First off - glad issue was relatively minor - flames out quickly. Second, presumably no injuries during egress/evac - so yay!
    But, now, what happens to all the stuff left on the plane? Checked luggage is one thing - it's tagged. But how does all the carry on / personal items get returned to passengers? Do they get to go back and collect? how do airlines/airports mitigate looting (from fellow passengers "upgrading" their stuff)?

      @44R0Ndin Рік тому +1

      1 injury during egress/evac. That's pretty good compared to the normal. You're still doing great if you have maybe 5 non-critical injuries, because escape slides are dangerous things, the only reason they get used is because (as a passenger in an evacuating aircraft) the slides are less dangerous than the thing that's causing the evacuation in the first place.
      Kinda like ejection seats, but with far less severe items in the list of things that are going towards the cost-benefit analysis done in the design stage of the aircraft.
      With the ejection seat, you don't wanna ever have need of it, but if you DO need it, using it is far safer than the alternative even if it means becoming the primary payload on a rocket for a short time (most modern ejection seats use rockets to push the pilot (hopefully) safely away from the aircraft, older ones used rockets, gunpowder-actuated pistons, or sometimes both in a 2-stage design).
      And with the escape slide it's the same thing, but different. You still don't want to ever have to use it, as there's a statistically significant risk of injury even if you use them properly, but if the alternative is being trapped on a burning aircraft you're gonna take your chances with the slide every time if you have any sense.

All the important things are in the cabin causing a lot of problems for the passengers after the evacuation. ATC was very nervous even mixing left and right.
