And one interesting / depressing bit from that:

Despite the flight attendant telling passengers to remain seated, several began shouting, “fire on the engine, let me get out!” That trigged “widespread panic” and prompted many passengers to get up and start retrieving their belongings. Some climbed over seats and began obstructing the aisle.

Three large men insisted the evacuation occur, pushing past a flight attendant and going down a slide before it had fully deployed — causing it to deflate and become unusable.

Some people's children, I swear...

My wife and I had this same discussion today. If they got sucked in, how incredibly gruesome that scene must have been.

How the eff did they even get out there that far?

I have a friend that's a Captain for a rival airline here in Denver, hopefully I can get some more details (and may regret doing so)
