This tidbit stood out. That seems like an awful long time.

Japan Airlines said it took some time to get the doors open because flight attendants first needed the pilot’s confirmation that the airplane had come to a complete stop and they needed to check whether it was safe to evacuate.

Hayashi estimated it took about three to five minutes for the doors to open.
