I think a lot of people already have backpacks in hands or ready to put on. I do not see anyone with a suite case. People have to decide what’s the best that helps the situation, follow the rules strictly or just find a way to get off the plane quickly. Will putting away the bags help speeding up? I certainly hope no one slows down to grab bags, we will see what the report say later. As for the ground crew, I Also wonder why no one got a fire extinguisher. But I can see some of the ground crews tried to move things out of the way for the slides. They are responsible to clear the path for evacuation. It took about 1’30” to open the first slide from the time the fire started. It took about 2’ for people to get off. I think that is reasonable, but I heard someone mentioned regulation is 90”. It feels a lot longer watching the video.

90 SECONDS!! That’s how long it took to evacuate that crashed A350 in Japan, and that was a much larger jet . Everybody survived, but nobody took their belongings with them, which contributed to the timely evacuation. If they were Americans like the majority of these people, they’d probably be dead, and I say that as an American man. Our population in particular seems to have developed a culture of ignoring the safety messages on our flights. Yeah, these strike me as the same kind of people that ignore fire alarms in our apartment buildings and public buildings, even though the schools here train us to evacuate by conducting fire drills with the same freaking alarms!! Most upsetting thing is, I live in Seattle. I wonder how many people I know, including my own parents, would take their belongings with them.

There also is the issue that in the US we design vehicles for occupant safety, we don't think anything about the safety of others outside the vehicle, so we get vehicles that'll hit average height male pedestrians in the torso, which is a much less survivable collision than being hit in the legs like most sedans.

Being an airline ground operations employee myself, I know that that spot on the aircraft is the port for the ground power cable that provides electrical power to the aircraft when the APU is not running. This is most likely the result of someone plugging in the cable while the ground power is on. It could also be that the cable is faulty too though. As this is a newer aircraft (an Airbus A321NEO), it’s not likely an issue with the aircraft itself.

It looked like they were doing a typical deplaning where people get their stuff then wait awkwardly until it’s their turn. So the people with bags probably already had those on before the emergency exits were deployed and time became critical. At that point they can either get moving and get off or take extra time to ditch their backpacks. Due to the circumstances, taking their bag with them might have been the quicker option.

Sooo many questions about ground operations at SeaTac that appear to be awful here. No one in the ground crew can unplug the ground power and get a co2 extinguisher on that? No guidance to the passengers , it’s just ever wondering around Willy Nilly on the tarmac causing a hazards and security concern. Then the fire fighters show up which seems a month too late (when were they called ) and proceed to block the operations by jamming the apron with a dozen vehicles and no action taken on the fire. Was Yackity Sacks playing with this video?

At your airport, are there disconnect switches to make it possible disconnect power to the power connection?

How did NONE of the ground crew have or think to grab a handheld extinguisher?? There are probably a dozen extinguishers within a 10 second jog of this aircraft. Edit: just read through some comments… it seems that ramp crew are not allowed to try to extinguish any aircraft fires whatsoever, basically because the employer is worried about the employees’ safety. What a load of rubbish. This world is so ass backward these days… it’s crazy that someone has to worry about losing their job for trying to put out a minor fire like this, that easily could’ve turned into a full blown inferno. All because maybe they’ll get hurt and some Karen or their Karen family might sue them because why, the Airline didn’t tell them that fire is hot?? Common sense goes a long way in situations like this. If the fuel tanks were ablaze obviously don’t get near it… but a potential major catastrophe could’ve been avoided if just a single person had just disabled that Ground Power Unit and sprayed down that nose gear with a handheld Halon or Special K extinguisher.. which undoubtedly there were several within very close proximity to this incident. Thankfully no one was hurt, but things could’ve easily gone much differently.
