BA0058 Ground Evacuation - Cape Town
Mate has just been evacuated (slides not deployed) from BA0058 in Cape Town, following electrical failure. Not getting home tonight, apparently...
He's very complimentary about the professionalism of the crew, getting everyone off a darkened aircraft.

Well, they were told to get out as quickly as they could, leaving all belongings behind. In the dark.
I'd call that - at the very least - not routine.

Did the emergency lighting illuminate?
Only reason I can think of for not taking baggage is that it's dark up at o/h locker level and crew was concerned about possibility of mishandled baggage banging heads and small children.
Occasionally, the only way of rebooting errant computers on the ground is to de-power the whole aircraft and then power up again. No big deal - isn't there a joke about making a kissing sound and smacking an annoying bloke on the face?
