I was a line mechanic for an. airline for fifteen years. There then was a 50 lb. CO2 on wheels near every single gate, and most of the people on the ramp knew how to use them. The totally unacceptable response we see here is another example of how cost-cutting and dumbing down employees for cheaper wages has compromised your safety when you fly.

The two biggest issues I see here are how long it took to address the fire, and the number of passengers who came done the slides carrying their luggage (putting everyone behind them at risk).

As someone who works this type of thing every day - everything was handled badly except for the Flight Crew's decision to pull the slides, which was the right thing to do. However, the ground crew being useless as to not have an extinguisher on the flames in a matter of seconds and the passengers fleeing all over an ACTIVE ramp without crowd control is egregious. All of this is prime video for training on what NOT to do. Training at US airports for incidents like these is slim to none - thus the response you see here...

Per my brother, an old-timer who worked for Northwest and then Delta at SeaTac: "We're trained yearly on fire extinguisher use... but we are not required to use them. Had it been me and old NW people, we would have been running for the cart. I've used one once on a fire in an engine tail cone and once on a cleaner's hilift truck that had an engine fire while up to an aircraft. The tail cone fire was maybe a few years ago and I was working cargo. Saw the fire, nobody on gate was doing anything, so I stopped and grabbed the cart and sprayed. The people they hire now would just run. I hadn't seen the whole thing. That was REALLY bad. They've turned it from a career job into a burger flipping job. That's what they get.

To be fair, the pilots could see black smoke coming off the aircraft and had no idea how bad it actually was. I can't blame them for instructing the cabin crew to deplane through the emergency exits. Imagine if it was worse and they went through the MCD and people got hurt. Then Delta gets sued. This way they are only out the cost of the slides and the aircraft being AOG for a week or so.

Over 3 minutes for ANY emergency responders to arrive AFTER the fire is out??? Heads need to roll. Seattle Airport and Delta should have a number of FORMER employees in the unemployment line.

It took a shocking long time until the ground crew reacted and until somebody came with a fire extinguisher (if at all). The more, since most of the video is in time lapse. It also took quite a long time for the fire brigade to come. When they finally arrived, most of the passengers had already left the aircraft.

Unreal!!! The fire literally burned itself out..... Not one person grabbed a fire extinguisher and attempted to extinguish.... It wasn't a fire that was even out of control. If anything it looked like ground personnel looked at the fire and walked away... Great example of "Not my job..."

lost passengers all over the place, no guidance. A disaster of management

Remarkable that the ground crew does not extinguish the fire

That is an unbelievable lack of response there!! What, not a single fire extinguisher around????? Amazing.

Firechief Wiggum: "Nah.. that little flame will burn itself out, just give it time. Lets wait and see Lou"

On the bright side at least the stewardess were able to use the emergency exits and have a real life situation to try without it much of a hassle

Hats off for the brave ground crew who stared at it for a couple of seconds than walked away.

For whatever reason they were not able to stop the delivery of power and the fact those GPUs are supposed to shut off with even the slightest disruption tells me this is not operator error.

Like you've ever had to do an emergency exit off the wing in a situation like this? The plane is on fire, people are afraid, they get out onto the wing, not knowing what to expect, so they missed the entrance to the slide for a very few seconds. No big deal. Completely justified. Didn't deserve the internet 'immature nasty comment clan' trying to get likes on their terrible comments. Just remember, 'likes' have and never will effect your life in any meaningful, or even unmeaningful way. Likes mean nothing. But comments that are made to hurt others...

The description says there where two pilots and only four flight attendants on board at the time. They did a good job of opening all the doors, deploying the ramps and directing passengers out.

Can't believe people took their bags with them. Surely the cabin crew would have told them not to take their bags. Did people simply not obey? Unbelievable and shocking.

Multiple failures in this evacuation. People grabbed their personal affects, longer than 90 sec evacuation, people walking on the wings without guidance or direction, fire burned for a prolonged time with 0 attempts to extinguish it. A complete lack of situational awareness all around.
