- saagarjha 7y agoI'm not sure if you think that people afraid for their lives would be faster or slower.
- eberkund 7y agoThey would most definitely be slower because of the panic and people pushing and shoving each other compared to an orderly and rehearsed exit
- eitland 7y agoI learned the other day that to simulate panic at some point they started giving money to the passengers who got out first. They said nothing about the amount, but as far as I could understand it actually worked. Edit: this was in a program about the Manchester plane fire in 1985 where 55 people died. The details are from the part about the investigation after the fire.
- tyho 7y agoThe first half to leave the plane are given $50 or so. According to people who have had to deplane in an emergency, this produces identical behaviour.
