30 seconds in - you see a pause in people sliding down, then someone exiting with a bag flailing in hand.

There's the real impact of this. 3 more people could have evaced in that time.

Now reports saying only 37 made it out. If that low, then many may have been quickly overcome by smoke in the back, but makes it amazing the person who shot the video from behind the wing made it out.

There's another cabin video on social from 'Baza' shot from the first class cabin on the other side of the plane.

Never understand why all the safety videos spend so much time on finding exits and - so little on pounding in people's heads they need to leave everything behind.
