- As per the following video, it took 10-18 minutes to evacuate the plane.
Those two statements are contradictory.
"taking 10-18 minutes to make a decision" is not true.
From the timestamped video we know that it was only 5-6 minutes after the plane came to a stop.
The person filming was seated behind the wing and was out of the aircraft around 7 minutes after the plane came to a stop.
Anyone behind the camera person that followed would have been out about 8 minutes after the plane came to a stop.
The 18 minutes is the very least person to leave, the captain who has done one final sweep to ensure everyone is out.
