The slides tell the story - and shows how e-a-s-y it may have been to evac so many so quickly:
I presume you mean that fact that the slides are double width? If you can get the CC to consistently 'post' people out of the door into alternative channels of the slides, then that would make a remarkable difference. The effects of four coloums of people arriving in close proximity to each other may increase minor injuries but best to be hobbling away than being carried off the airframe later ...
The pictures posted (much appreciated) show the eight Starboard slides. Does this mean that they only exited from the Starboard side? Or did they deploy all slides but limit which ones were used?
