A bit more information here on Reuters (http://today.reuters.com/business/newsarticle.aspx?type=tnBusinessNews&storyID=nN02645039&imageid=&cap=) . Just says pilot & some passengers taken to hospital and some other passengers walking away.

Fingers crossed!

Thank goodness everyone managed to get out of the plane! I'm betting that's largely thanks to well trained cabin crew :thumbsup: Well done them!

The more I fly the less nervous I am becoming, but I ALWAYS feel under my seat to make sure the life-jacket is there, and I know exactly where the nearest exit is and try to memorise the brief pictoral instructions for opening the door and activating the chute.
