Inside the plane, passengers remained mostly calm as they were forced to exit the plane by way of inflatable slides.

We can't say enough about the professionalism of the Spirit Airlines crew who helped lead the passengers off the plane. They should be commended on how they handled themselves. They were trained and prepared to handle such an emergency.
