Aires B737-700 crashes on Landing in San Andres (Merged)

The cabin attendant should have been there but I guess in the panic he/she didn’t realize that they were only 6 inches off the ground!

my guess is, some folks up front pulled the handle and opened the door without disarming the slide.
I guess the first thing you want to do is open the door!

Where were they going on that escape slide?

wow that looks bad! Quite amazing everyone survived except that woman. 😮

Helluva mess

Apparently the unfortunate woman died of a heart attack and not from any injuries.

Many lucky, 1 unlucky. RIP 🙁

First Ryanair, now Easyjet! (Ex G-EZJU) 😉
