I though this was a Rejected Takeoff. Smoke from main landing gear fire
AA3023 DEN-MIA (737Max8)

Another one!?! Didn't they have another emergency evac last week?

If I was on that plane I would be tempted to re-enact the scene from Crocodile Dundee when he is in the subway and start climbing across the seats

Always keep your most important items, eg phone, passport, on your person when travelling, particularly internationally

That is just insanity.

This is a nice demonstration of why I assume all people are idiots until they prove otherwise.

This is a case where that expression "don't be the smartest person the room" wouldn't make a difference.

Question also why aren't they going out the closest door in that video?

If that door was closest to the hazard, I imagine passengers would be ushered out alternative exits (i.e. away from danger).

Do dangers that cause a ‘plane on the ground to be evacuated always mean opening all doors & activating the chutes/slides etc? I would assume not, and in such a case, that unless there are stairs at an exit it won’t be opened … ?

Unclear what door thet was.. but the hazard from other videos appeared to be forward, with fire/smoke at the presumably overheated brakes in the front landing gear.

Possibly that's th overwing exit and they are pushing people forward.

The other poor behaviour video was taken of the rear exit.

It’s a full-sized exit, with galley carts visible, so not an over wing exit. Looks like the rear exit, left side.

But that's exit was definitely working from the initial videos.

I think two separate incidents - one was a battery fire the other an issue with the plane itself.
