Caught me at my laptop.

Ha, that was my one and only idea. Back to the drawing board.

@Derg this one is even better

But first, let me take a selfie!

LOL, someone start a thread please.....

 

[ChasenSFO]

Ugh...I'm waiting for the day people end up getting trapped in a burning plane because of these idiots grabbing all their stuff instead of bolting down the aisle and down the chute.

One more. You guys need to stop feeding the monkey.

WIN.

 

[SeanD]

OMG! Grab your stuff! We're going to make it to the terminal and catch an alternate flight!

Gotta love how a parent managed to convince their kid to join in the boobery. "hun! hun! we have to go! But first, get Mommy's pink bag! No not that one! Not that one! Look up there! No, thats not it! Ok,Yes! Thats it! Hurry, lets go!" This image makes me embarrassed to be a human.

 

[Mike Wise]

I swear, if this ever happens on a flight where I'm riding in the back... I'm probably going to start hucking people's bags (and possibly them) out of the way as I push pax and myself out the damn door. Idiots.

Oh yes you can def believe one of those injuries will be me kicking someone down the slide - "A Christmas story" style!

I dub thee a new member of the inner circle!

 

[MikeD]

I'm offended.

Officially.

 

[Pilot Fighter]

I dub thee a new member of the inner circle!

Good, I was getting too many questions about the pledge pin on my uniform.

 

[Mike Wise]

Pause. I want in.

I'm guessing you're commuting on an airways flight? Did you tell the crew when you asked for a ride how this incident was serving as entertainment for you?

It's the passenger, not the incident. Lighten up, Francis...

 

[Vector4Food]

So.

On topic.

I hear a rumour that a take-off clearance was issued to a succeeding aircraft, which would imply the controller may have thought the airplane was airborne. If it was... then what happened?

Still may have been rolling. There are several airports I can think of, including KPHL, where they give takeoff clearances to aircraft holding short as another is still rolling down the runway.

Not being a tower controller, and not being an American, I didn't know they could do that. Thanks

I think it's a time distance thing. They, cab controllers, know for the most part how long it takes an aircraft to start rolling from the hold short line. That mixed with an aircraft hurling itself down the runway gives enough separation. Now I could be totally wrong so don't take this as law.

 

[Sol Rosenburg]

Anticipated separation. As you could also get a landing clearance with the runway occupied or a take off clearance while another exits down field several thousand feet.
