Sorry but I don't think you're reading my posts accurately.
I wouldn't be initiating an evacuation - I would be hoofing it. Everyone can make their own decisions.
Iam not denigrating the CC as they are only following instructions from the Fd, who are following instructions from ATC, who are following instructions from some ad hoc management- type team that gets to deal with these situations maybe once every five years.
Once the ac lands and shuts down the episode of my having to trust my life to someone else is over. There is always a point where you need to take responsibility for your own survival. Others are welcome to be sheep if they wish.
Me, I'll be taking a nap on the grass about a hundred metres from the ac awaiting debriefing.
