The excellence of the EK crew evacuating everybody out of the aircraft in 90 seconds is up there when Air France did the same when an A340-300 over shot the runway in YYZ a few years ago. That aircraft also burned just after everyone was evacuated.

Great job EK cabin crew.^

This also shows how important it is for EK to have the extra engine thrust in hot weather. This will be a major factor if the chose the A359 over the 787-10. The 77W would of had a much better chance of not stalling with the additional thrust.
