I saw a pic that showed the aft-left was folded and twisted. That's surprising, since I thought Boeing and the slide companies learned their lesson after Pan Am 845 in SFO (1971; emergency evac after shearing the body gear off from hitting the departure-end approach lights of 1L). It was a really windy day, and the slides looked like the waving-arm-tube man at your local car dealer. Supposedly all 747 slides were changed to a more rigid variety after that; I would have thought all others would have been designed to such a standard.

I just saw the evac-selfie video. Besides the lunacy of deciding "Hey, I think I will film this!", I'm amazed EVERYONE didn't die. NO ONE seemed to be in a rush to get out....it looked like the typical chaos you see every day at the gate.

The F/As were trying, but largely ignored.

No one got motivated until they jumped and saw fire...THEN they ran.

Someone on pprune wrote "this should be shown at every evac class."

Indeed.
