Old model TU-154-B2 does not have INFLATED slides which are installed in new version TU-154M.
Wrong. Slide from 2nd door was not deployed because door was opened by pax who don't know how to open it (proofs from the witness pax on aviaforum.ru). Exits on the wings doesn't have slides. Tail exits was on fire, so deploing slides was prohibited.
PIC did not beleve the fire is real and delayed the evacuation (something like that -still no official info).
There is NO confirmation about that. Besides, two las rows was occuped by spare crew (8 person) who made a lot of evaquation task and without them, it is belived, fatality rate may be dozens.
