VT-ESM (cn 27078/987) A Bad day for Air India! Timely information provided by vigilant passengers onboard "KONARK" bound for Riyadh today at 10.30am averted what would have been a sure disaster! Apparently, a fuel leak from the wings onto the engines provoked sparks and fire from engine1 (extreme right). Luckily, the fire was doused in the nick of time. All 213 passengers were evacuated through emergency exit chutes of the 744 which was brought to a halt on A3. Notice the charred engine 1 cowling and the wing leading edge.

Where are the deployed emergency slides? If they where deployed why are they not deployed at the side opposite to the fire? Just doesnt seem right jumping out into the side thats on fire, or is that normal?

Now this is a good news, all escaped from the cruel hands of death.

Is there a problem with the 747, because on the 3rd of September, a Qantas 747 had a fuel leak in engine no.4, the pilots shut it down and diverted to Perth. Fortunately no one was hurt.
