Ah, and how would one know that?
Also they didn't go to a gate. They went to the ramp area. Not sure why evacuation on a closed runway would be any less safe.
Ever heard of Air Canada 797? That crew didn't think the smoke was a big deal either and delayed evacuation by 90 seconds.
Swiss 111?
Shall I go on?
