A FA friend mentioned, on B738s, once the emergency evacuation is activated,the flaps will retract to allow pax to use the overwing exits as an evacuation area...
How is the that going to happen? You've shut down the engines and pulled the engine fire switches, therefore there's no hydraulic, nor electrical power. The flaps can't just magic themselves up. Maybe some further reading required of your FA friend.
