I think the relative speed of evacuation in this particular case is one of the impressive aspects of the video.

The video supports the investigation report finding that the person in command of firefighting had no aircraft rescue and firefighting training.
Passengers had already exited and are visible at the rear, when the camera zoomed in.
But according to video timecode, 4 minutes after the aircraft came to rest numerous passengers/crew were still exiting the forward slides.
Presumably delayed due to obstructions? Passenger injuries?
