An airline flight in Philadelphia came to a sudden stop on its takeoff roll in Philadelphia yesterday afternoon when its nose gear collapsed. The slides were activated and people evacuated.

This photo made the rounds on Twitter last evening. Look closely. The passengers paused their evacuation long enough to grab their carry on.

Passengers evacuate US Airways Flight 1702 after the pilot was forced to abort takeoff shortly after 6 p.m., after a tire on the plane's front landing gear blew out, Thursday, March 13, 2014, in Philadelphia. The Airbus A320 jet, bound for Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was carrying 149 passengers and five crew members, airport spokeswoman Victoria Lupica said. All were rescheduled on departing flights Thursday night, she said. (AP Photo/Dennis Fee)
