BTB, a bit harsh at this early stage don't you think?

Has there ever been an 'orderly' evacuation using escape slides at 5am after a 20 hour (plus turnaround in Singapore) trip? I've seen the videos of the experiments done in the UK on passenger evacuations some years ago, using money as the incentive to get out quickly. They were complete chaos - and the passengers knew they were in no danger at all!

Call me crazy, but I'm giving the crew the benefit of the doubt. If the investigation shows they screwed up, only then do I reserve the right to change my mind.
