Cabin crew may be permitted to initiate an evacuation without a command from the flight deck but it is a big deal to actually do it, especially in circumstances where many passengers say they were not even aware there had been a crash landing.
In this event there was no fire. Had there been, the cabin crew's actions would have saved a great many lives.
It shows that the efforts of Cabin Crew Training and the SEP instructors are not entirely wasted.
