Looking at the videos posted to social media, there did not seem to be a great urgency to the evacuation. Someone literally had time to record the view from L3. There should be a cabin crew member there getting the passengers out faster. But seems not. Judging from the videos, I'll put some of the blame on the crew, though I was not there and videos may easily be deceiving.

I do wonder how I would react in an evacuation. I'd like to believe I'll be following proper procedures. But I'd actually prefer not to know from experience.
