The evac of JAL A350 was not a miracle, but it's miraculous no one was seriously injured, especially those using exit L4. Apologies to Lt Chard from the film Zulu, “If it's a miracle, Colour Sergeant, it's a crew, passenger self-discipline, aircraft design, and lady luck miracle”

Quite impressive. It would have reached a limiting velocity and probably fell into spongy soft grass, but who makes that protective case?
iPhone that fell from Alaska Airlines flight 1282 survived a 16,000 feet drop

In aircraft evacuation every second counts, so the 18 minutes before the last person on board the JAL A350 at Haneda airport evacuated feels like an eternity. What can we learn? For a detailed analysis of the evacuation read my LinkedIn article. linkedin.com/pulse/closer-lo…

Many thanks to Andy Nicholson of The Fire Surgery for inviting me to observe the fire and evacuation training exercise they put on at St.Pauls Cathedral in London. What a valuable learning experience for everyone involved. Great job, The Fire Surgery, LFB and St.Pauls.
