Passengers have been forced to evacuate an American Airlines flight in London today due to smoke in the cabin.
The incident happened at 12.30pm at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 3, with around a dozen people having to use the emergency slides to get out of the plane. 
Emergency services have been called to the scenes as the passengers made their way to safety.

More Airbus junk. Did you notice the 3R door evacuation slide deployed and the end of the slide was still off the ground?

The irony of thst is that the L3/R3 doors are EMERGENCY EXITS ONLY...not entry or service doors.

That's typical.  Anyone with even a passing knowledge of evacuation slides would know that.  The smaller slides (the ones that are not slide/rafts) are light enough that it takes no more than a slight breeze to raise them off the ground when EMPTY, you rhymes-with-Enron!

Yes thanks for the explanation, I am more than aware of evacuation doors and slides... My post said IRONY.......as in "isn't it a coincidence that the EMERGENCE ONLY exit door has the slide not reaching the ground." And also thanks for explaining the wind effects on objects. 
Next time I'll spell out the entire humor dissertation  of it so people like you don't feel the need to correct the less intelligent likes of us.

This is the part I have a beef with.  The email sent to FAs by the union and by the company said three slides were deployed, 3R apparently by a passenger.  The rest left the aircraft in an orderly fashion through the boarding door.  The phrase "having to use" implies it was their only way off.  I doubt it.
 
Sloppy reporting.
