Although she is the U.S. Supreme Court’s oldest member, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg still keeps up an active travel schedule.

It was unusually active today, however, because Ginsburg, 78, had to exit a smoky plane at Dulles International Airport by sliding down an emergency exit chute, along with other passengers, reports the Associated Press.

Ginsburg wasn’t injured. But a couple of other passengers were, apparently none of them seriously.
