Default Lucky folks




The only way I can describe yesterday's events at Pearson is "damn lucky"...

That's rather unfair -- everyone involved: the cabin crew, Airbus
designers, the folks who made the slides, you name it, all contributed
to a highly successful evac in less than stellar circumstances, but
still...damn lucky.

Heard a report that by the time Rescue arrived, 52 seconds into the event,
over 50% of the 309 were clear. And not one was seriously injured.

Amazing.
