Plane Explodes in Okinawa, Pilot Escapes John McClane Style


If you thought those airplane exit ramps and safety instructions were useless, check this video of people escaping from a Chinese Boeing 737-800, yesterday at Okinawa Aiport. All 165 on board survived, including the pilot, who jumped from the cockpit window just a second before the whole plane exploded in a ball of fire and smoke. [BBC News]
