Hmm, I'm sure I read something about that this week at work. I think it might be in the last copy of flight? Certainly the evac tests are iminent, and they are looking for around 1000 folks to jump out of it!

i think flight international also said that volunteers were being drawn from "sports clubs". so that's all right then.

1000 peeps to jump out in 90 seconds with only 50% of the emergency exits available......should be fun to watch - call the ambulance!!

Could probably finance it by inviting film and TV crews to pay to come and film it. I'd have thought hollywood could think of a few entertaining uses for that, as could discovery channel.
Something like that happened when (NASA?) crashed a (737?) under remote control a few years ago in the name of crashworthiness research.
