No one comments on the IDIOT who drops his brief case, the papers fall out and all he is worried about is picking up the papers instead of getting his ass far away from a plane that is partially on fire? Thank God there weren't that many people on the plane. All these retards had bags with them going down the slide.

So much for "leave everything behind." I also wonder why they waited so long to evacuate.

I just want to know why it took about 2:30 before either the evacuation started or the fire fighters got there. thats waaay too slow

They actually didn't wait as long to evacuate as it appeared...the cameraman is an idiot. First he completely missed the touchdown of the aircraft by zooming too far out, then he missed the popping of the chutes and evacuation by zooming too far in. Almost the entire aircraft was empty before he zoomed out enough to see it happening.
