Now im sorry but im cabin crew myself, and our policy with regards to evacuating the aircraft is to evacuate the aircraft ASAP after we've heard the evacuation command. We dont care about whether there is a pile of passengers at the bottom of the slide, people need to get off quickly. As we all know an evacuation of an aircraft should be made within 90 seconds of that evacuation call, and whats with the guy on the BBC website interview saying the crew were screaming to get people off... they aint gonna be asking people nicely are they??!!!! They did a bloody good job i say to evacuate that big bird as they did with only 4 slight injuries. Good job to all involved.
