Atlasjet MD-83 Hijack : Tail Cone exit

Hey Guys , I am currently a Flight Purser rated on the MD-90. Note that when the passengers escaped from the tailcone exit the slide didn't inflate. The curious thing is if :

The Crew or the passengers opened the tailcone exit ? 99% it was opened with the emergency red lever and the slide failed to inflate in this case the crew failed to inflate the slide manually which could have easily caused injuries to the passengers while they where escaping .

Luckily this hijack turned up to be a complete flop for the hijackers.
