Why this thread should stay open
The reason I believe this thread has, and should, stay open is this.
In the absence of a report that says the fc made an error of judgement, it is encumbent upon the "evac evac evac" (majority i believe) to persuade the fence sitters that it was an error.
Doing so might save some lives. Tomorrow. Or the next day.
Yes, with all the caveats. Evac LHS and check for hazards first (trust the cc training). In this case, there is clear evidence a LHS evac would have been safe. Staying onboard endangered the lives of pax and crew.
