Armada-thanks for the excellent news website.

It will be interesting to later read whether most emergency exits were useable, depending on how steep an angle going down any evacuation slides in uneven terrain and with any collapsed landing gear. This could cause broken bones or worse.

Also, whether the passengers went to the nearest useable exits, especially behind them.

Historically, it has been said that many passengers instinctively try to go forward to the main cabin door. The flightcrew and cabin crewmembers must have done a superb job with no time to plan and coordinate on the interphone etc.

Let's learn as much as we can from this.
