Today's Pictures...I'm to tired for words.



Our instructor filled the cabin with smoke and turned off the lights. What a different and scary place it became. The classmate at the top of the stairs in this picture was elected our F/A. She had to evacuate us. We were seated in the back. I now have some idea what a terrible way this would be to die. It only takes 1 minute to engulf the cabin in flames. Again, time is renforced. We did it again, but this time had to find the exit doors and open them. I couldn't find 'em because I forgot which asile the exit row was on. I went for 8 when it should have been 6. Wrong aircraft. This picture looks like I'm falling down the stairs. Not really. I was just playing.

The smoke was much more blinding than I thought it would be. Even when the emergency lights came on and the doors were open, I still couldn't see a thing until I was right at the MCD (main cabin door). The lights just made everything look white.

In a real fire, the smoke would be much worse...black and much more toxic. I wish we would have practiced this more. I'm not really sure if I could get everyone out in 90 seconds.
