Passengers evacuate during deicing

[Stifler's Mom]

An Aeroflot Airbus A321, flight SU780 from Krasnojarks to Moscow Sheremtyevo (Russia) with 200 passengers, was evacuated while deicing for takeoff was in progress. A passenger looking out of his window saw white clouds of smoke, thought the plane was on fire, panicked and thus created panic with the other passengers, too. The crew decided to give way to the resulting stampede, alerted the tower and initiated the evacuation.

The white smoke clouds were in fact steam from the deicing fluid.

Think of the mass hysteria if the hydraulic PTU was squealing too. :nuts:

I would have loved to have seen them jump out on the wing and get covered in all that snot-like fluid.

I'm sure all that crap all over the ground as well didn't exactly help prevent any injuries as they came off the slide-o-fun.

Hmmm smells like pancakes!

When an aircraft sits overnight and fuel condensation builds on an engine,

Ah yes...the dreaded overnight fuel condensation.

In 1996, the crew was forced to shut down the left engine and land because of excessive fuel consumption.

Huh?

Maybe the Russian crew mistook the glycol mixture for the barrel of Smirnoff and that is what caused the fire?
