How did the rear slide blow like that in the engines were shut down?

What you see is probably pretty close to what you are going to get. I wouldn’t expect anything a whole lot better.

Very true. Not sure why I always expect any sort of order lol.

Nice job, crew. Glad everyone is ok

Apparently a fairly recent upgrade and a newer hire FO, I would say very well executed between them.

Great job to the flight attendants who I heard were taking bags from some of the idiots before they went down the slides.

Like someone else mentioned, it’s not the click bait-y stuff that news likes to run with, but shows why training and procedures at work and everyone is safe. Proud of our Spirit team.

So did they pop a slide with engines running? There is that picture floating around.

Who's "they"?

Pilots? Probably not, got checklists for that.

FA's? Probably not but maybe.

PAX? Anything's possible.

Some uncertainty in the cabin on this one.

But if you take away all doubt as to the sense of urgency, it often works out quite well...
