Narrative:

We were cleared to make an ILS approach to runway 2L. The aircraft touched down on speed in the touchdown zone. Shortly thereafter, I heard the intercom chime. Captain picked up the intercom. Flight attendant called from the rear of the aircraft and said that she was hearing a strange noise. I could hear what sounded like an aft lavatory smoke detector alarm in the backgnd. Captain asked the flight attendant to stay on the line. In short succession, or simultaneously, we were contacted by bna tower. Tower gave us instructions to turn off the runway at either runway 31 or at the end of runway 2L. Tower called back as we cleared the runway at taxiway B, and said that there was smoke coming from our #2 engine. Tower also asked if we required emergency equipment to be dispatched. Captain replied, 'not at this time,' or words to the effect. We were then switched to ground control. Cockpit instruments did not indicate any unusual circumstances. The after landing checklist, including shutting down the #2 engine, was completed. I asked ground if they could see any smoke coming from the aircraft. Ground responded in the negative. We turned off taxiway B, onto txwys M and T1. We entered the ramp area and came to a stop. Upon stopping the aircraft, we set the parking brake and opened the cockpit door. I did not observe any smoke in the cabin. Captain made a short passenger announcement to inform the passenger that we were stopped on the ramp because of a report of smoke: that we might be evacuating and not to be unduly alarmed. He also informed the passenger that I would get back to them as soon as he determined what conditions we were facing. We contacted ramp control and asked if they could see smoke. Ramp replied affirmatively. Ground control also called to say we had smoke coming from our tail. Captain then told ground to send the trucks and that we were evacuating. The customer service coordinator was standing near the cockpit door. Captain told her that we were evacuating and then made a passenger announcement instructing passenger to follow flight attendant instructions in evacuating the aircraft on the right side. As the passenger stood up, we continued and completed the evacuation checklist. We then left the cockpit to assist in the evacuation process. Captain and I made a sweep through the cabin to determine that no one remained on board prior to exiting. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter flies the md-88 for a major united states air carrier. The smoke was caused by a cracked fuel manifold that was leaking fuel onto the hot section of the engine. There was no fire warning as there was no fire. Smoke was getting into the aft lavatories causing their detectors to sound. There were about 120 people on board. All very orderly. There were 2 passenger that sprained ankles on the emergency evacuate/evacuation. The aircraft was stopped about 200 meters from the terminal. The flight crew was interviewed on the spot by a local FAA representative. There has been no other contact from the FAA.

Title: EMER EVACUATION.

Narrative: WE WERE CLRED TO MAKE AN ILS APCH TO RWY 2L. THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN ON SPD IN THE TOUCHDOWN ZONE. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I HEARD THE INTERCOM CHIME. CAPT PICKED UP THE INTERCOM. FLT ATTENDANT CALLED FROM THE REAR OF THE ACFT AND SAID THAT SHE WAS HEARING A STRANGE NOISE. I COULD HEAR WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AN AFT LAVATORY SMOKE DETECTOR ALARM IN THE BACKGND. CAPT ASKED THE FLT ATTENDANT TO STAY ON THE LINE. IN SHORT SUCCESSION, OR SIMULTANEOUSLY, WE WERE CONTACTED BY BNA TWR. TWR GAVE US INSTRUCTIONS TO TURN OFF THE RWY AT EITHER RWY 31 OR AT THE END OF RWY 2L. TWR CALLED BACK AS WE CLRED THE RWY AT TXWY B, AND SAID THAT THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM OUR #2 ENG. TWR ALSO ASKED IF WE REQUIRED EMER EQUIP TO BE DISPATCHED. CAPT REPLIED, 'NOT AT THIS TIME,' OR WORDS TO THE EFFECT. WE WERE THEN SWITCHED TO GND CTL. COCKPIT INSTS DID NOT INDICATE ANY UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. THE AFTER LNDG CHKLIST, INCLUDING SHUTTING DOWN THE #2 ENG, WAS COMPLETED. I ASKED GND IF THEY COULD SEE ANY SMOKE COMING FROM THE ACFT. GND RESPONDED IN THE NEGATIVE. WE TURNED OFF TXWY B, ONTO TXWYS M AND T1. WE ENTERED THE RAMP AREA AND CAME TO A STOP. UPON STOPPING THE ACFT, WE SET THE PARKING BRAKE AND OPENED THE COCKPIT DOOR. I DID NOT OBSERVE ANY SMOKE IN THE CABIN. CAPT MADE A SHORT PAX ANNOUNCEMENT TO INFORM THE PAX THAT WE WERE STOPPED ON THE RAMP BECAUSE OF A RPT OF SMOKE: THAT WE MIGHT BE EVACUATING AND NOT TO BE UNDULY ALARMED. HE ALSO INFORMED THE PAX THAT I WOULD GET BACK TO THEM AS SOON AS HE DETERMINED WHAT CONDITIONS WE WERE FACING. WE CONTACTED RAMP CTL AND ASKED IF THEY COULD SEE SMOKE. RAMP REPLIED AFFIRMATIVELY.

CAPT TOLD HER THAT WE WERE EVACUATING AND THEN MADE A PAX ANNOUNCEMENT INSTRUCTING PAX TO FOLLOW FLT ATTENDANT INSTRUCTIONS IN EVACUATING THE ACFT ON THE R SIDE. AS THE PAX STOOD UP, WE CONTINUED AND COMPLETED THE EVACUATION CHKLIST. WE THEN LEFT THE COCKPIT TO ASSIST IN THE EVACUATION PROCESS. CAPT AND I MADE A SWEEP THROUGH THE CABIN TO DETERMINE THAT NO ONE REMAINED ON BOARD PRIOR TO EXITING. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR FLIES THE MD-88 FOR A MAJOR UNITED STATES ACR. THE SMOKE WAS CAUSED BY A CRACKED FUEL MANIFOLD THAT WAS LEAKING FUEL ONTO THE HOT SECTION OF THE ENG. THERE WAS NO FIRE WARNING AS THERE WAS NO FIRE. SMOKE WAS GETTING INTO THE AFT LAVATORIES CAUSING THEIR DETECTORS TO SOUND. THERE WERE ABOUT 120 PEOPLE ON BOARD. ALL VERY ORDERLY. THERE WERE 2 PAX THAT SPRAINED ANKLES ON THE EMER EVAC.
