Watch: Another Miracle Escape - Another Valuable Lesson
By Geoffrey Thomas Sat Jan 6, 2024
It is another miracle escape and another incredibly valuable lesson for passengers next time they fly.
In the same week that 379 passengers and crew escaped a burning inferno at Henada Airport, all passengers and crew are safe after an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX lost an emergency door (above) after take-off from Portland.
The lesson with the Japan Airlines escape is don't take your carry-on baggage when you exit the plane in an emergency.
The lesson from the Alaska Airlines exit door incident is to keep your seat belt on at all times. Any person sitting near that door without a seat belt would have been sucked out.
As it was passengers lost mobile phones and one his shirt from the force of the sudden decompression.
