I had a similar experience in a much smaller and thankfully less damaging incident. I was on a touring flight on small plane (6 person capacity) with my wife and friends. Upon landing, one of the plane’s engines caught fire while taxing on the runway. The pilot getting got out and proclaimed “Everyone out!” Of course, he did not stick around to help anyone. Fortunately, the fire did not spread and everyone evacuated after some confusion and panic. There were some minor injuries but no one required medical care.
So the pilot was able to outrun you?
