I've made my own mind up about how well this was handled.

Based on the report, I'd say the problems were created by ATC, BAA and the fire fighters. It wasn't FR who assembled evacuated pax downwind from the fire.

The overwing exits in an 800 are self-service exits. I'd say it's virtually impossible to stop pax using them in an evacuation, as no c/c is stationed there.

Care to share your thoughts on EI-CSA being landed in an incorrect config?

I'm sure that you an give us loads of comparable incidents at BA, AF, LH etc.

Well, you COULD check out this website: http://dnausers.d-n-a.net/dnetGOjg/Disasters.htm.

I can find BA, AF and LH, but NOT FR. Fair enough, FR hasn't been operating for as long as some of the other companies, but I think you can still see my point... Which is ACCIDENTS HAPPEN TO THE BEST OF US.
