Video showed people standing on a wing of the aircraft, which was evacuated using the slides. Twelve people were taken to hospitals with minor injuries, officials said.

    Better keep cutting staff at the FAA and messing with the supply chain. So much efficiency

    Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.

        Well, there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen.

        I just don’t want people thinking that tankers aren’t safe.

    Why didn’t the slide deploy? Standing on top of a fuel tank in a fire isn’t a great place to be

        Bumpy ass ride, my partner threw up unfortunately. I’ve had worse but we’ve been up for a day and haven’t eaten in 12 hours so it was pretty miserable. Alive though so that counts

    Coming soon: American Airlines “express exit from wing” as a paid add-on to each flight.
