The report also criticises the crew of the Boeing for acting too slowly in evaluating the 332 passengers. After being warned by fire chiefs that flames were coming from the wheel, and that an immediate evacuation was necessary, the report says the crew took too long getting passengers down the emergency slides because they failed to send them all down in twos.

Understandably reluctant maybe. After all they were stationary with a fire tender present. Evacuations can cause severe injury's and even fatalities.
