How did the passengers manage to successfully escape the plane inferno in the Japan jet crash?

Passengers followed the flight crew's instructions and quickly evacuated a burning Japan Airlines jet without taking their hand luggage, which was a "major factor" in the successful evacuation, according to aviation experts. The incident occurred when Japan Airlines Flight 516 collided with a coastguard plane while landing at Haneda Airport in Tokyo. Five people on board the smaller aircraft died. The evacuation was praised for its efficiency and was attributed to the flight crew's training and the cooperation of the passengers. Leaving valuables behind was crucial in ensuring a swift evacuation without any hindrance. The aircraft's condition, with its nose down, made the evacuation challenging, and only three inflatable slides could be used due to the way the plane landed. The evacuation was further complicated by a malfunctioning announcement system, leading the crew to use a megaphone and shout instructions. One passenger sustained bruises, and 13 others requested medical consultations. An investigation into the collision is currently underway. The incident highlights the importance of rigorous training for flight crew members, which includes practicing various emergency scenarios. The aviation industry has strengthened safety regulations over the years following past accidents. Japan Airlines itself experienced a significant catastrophe in 1985, leading to improvements in safety measures.
