Of course, I wasn't there, and don't know all the circumstances, but I'll take some injuries over loss of life any day.
The evac's with higher injury rates are many times unplanned evac's. They had 2 hours to plan and prepare.
Just as side note for future ref, no cockpit windows on 787. Doubt A 350 has them either.
