The video shows passengers sitting calmly in a burning aircraft quickly filling with smoke, I presume awaiting further instruction, which may or may not have come from the crew. The scene almost defies belief.

  For a 20 second clip. It is unclear if the plane is stopped at that start of the clip, and the attendants have to assess which exits aren’t on fire, arm and deploy the safe ones, and then issue orders. Until then, staying calm and out of their way is probably good. They got nearly 400 people out with only 14 minor injuries.
