Running In - you say it's the cabin crews responsibility to get pax off. Now that's all well and good however what if the cabin crew are unconscious? Should the passengers just sit and wait for the emergency services to arrive? Overweight exits are "self help". Passengers need to open and operate these exits themselves. Cabin crew are not stationed by these exits. So therefore passengers must take responsibility for their own safety too. Time and conditions permitting (I'm sure you could understand nobody would run into a wall of flames) cabin crew will check for pax left behind which is the point if the smoke filled cabin training.
Any more updates on the source of the smoke?
