Re-read your post; I did take it that way, now understand you may not have meant it so.
What concerns me is the testosterone-poisoned tone of many responses in this thread, justifying panicky desk jockeys going Dirty Harry on pax who may be injured or in shock, when the important thing is TO KEEP EVERYONE MOVING OUT OF THE PLANE.
I've never evacuated a crashed plane, but experienced a crowd so crushing people were holding their babies over their heads. Moving even 1-2" was difficult: I got lifted off my feet at one point. A few people who gave calm directions under pressure kept it from becoming an emergency.
