Swish266 the Saudia Tristar disaster happened because the outflow valves were closed and the cabin was still pressurised so they couldn't open the doors to evacuate, even if they wanted to. However that's not the point of this discussion. My point and most everybody elses, including your sim instructor's was that you should have ordered an evacuation. All well and good to say the fire crew didn't see any sign of a fire inside the closed cargo hold. Your landing at the first available could have been in Whoop Whoop with no ground support whatsoever or if there were, without the language skills to communicate. What to do? Evacuate.
