No one wants to be in a plane crash, but there’s always a chance that it could occur. On the off chance that a tragedy happens, evacuating passengers and crew quickly and efficiently becomes the priority. On average, a passenger plane carries 300 people. Getting that many people off a crashed plane is no simple task, but it has to be done as quickly as possible. Post-crash fires are the greatest hazard if the plane has managed to crash-land with the fuselage still in one piece.
沒有人願意遇到飛機失事，但這種情況總是有可能發生。儘管機率很小，但萬一悲劇發生，迅速且有效率地疏散乘客和機組人員成為首要之務。平均而言，一架客機載有三百人。要讓這麼多人撤離失事的飛機並非簡單的事，但還是必須儘快完成。如果飛機能夠在緊急迫降時保持機身完整，飛機失事後發生的火災會是最大的危險。
