The Brief
- United Airlines Flight 1382 aborted takeoff at Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport after a right engine failure just before liftoff.
- Passengers, fearing a fire, ignored crew instructions, grabbed carry-on bags, and rushed exits, complicating the evacuation.
- Investigators say a communication breakdown left an engine running during evacuation, causing a slide failure but no injuries.
