I am not questioning the checklists, I am just interested is what these list give as to the order of tasks and their expected time to accomplish. What we know from the video is:
- Plane was billowing fire and smoke from the RHS when it stopped.
- The left overwing slide was blown roughly 20 seconds after the plane stopped.
- It was at least 40 seconds after the plane stopped that the left rear slide was blown.
- The LHS engine was still operating at that time with at least some significant rotational speed
Is this timeline indicative that: (a) all required checklists were performed immediately; or (b) there was some delay in executing the evac requirements.
As to the issue of not wanting to kill the engine because it supplies electrical power -- given that the plane was in take-off config, would not the APU have been operating? Please note that I am not saying that anything was done wrong. I don't know. I am just interested in understanding whether everything took place as expected in such a situation, or whether delays occurred that may indicate that there were on-board perceptions of the situation that are different from what we can see from the videos.
