Anyone behind the camera person that followed would have been out about 8 minutes after the plane came to a stop.
In addition L4 was opened at some point. The camera person may have been already moving forward to one of the front exits but a number of passengers are seen coming out through L4.
The 18 minutes is the very least person to leave, the captain who has done one final sweep to ensure everyone is out.
What amazes me is there were several passengers still in their seat who had to be “persuaded” to leave the aircraft. It’s impossible to know how we might behave in such a situation. We hear about passengers standing up and rushing to exit doors before instructed to do so but we don’t often hear about people who are reluctant to leave an aircraft on fire. They would not have survived had the captain and other crew members not checked every row before leaving the aircraft themselves.
