WestJet passengers evacuate on slides after engine fire at Vancouver airport

Stupid really.
The yard apes probably panicked..... jumping up and down probably told the captain his engine was on fire, so he blows the bottles and pops the slides. A little residual oil in the tailpipe burned for a few secs and now the plane is out of service for days.

Even if there was no evacuation and the captain followed the correct tailpipe fire checklists, I still would think the plane would be AOG for a few days. So not sure what you’re getting at.
