Airbus A380 evacuation - 873 people in 77 seconds

With only 8 of the 16 exits opened, the task for this evacuation certification was to evacuate 853 passengers and 20 crew in 90 seconds. This all happened in darkness, with only cabin emergency lights. The footage is from infrared cameras and the crew and the passengers did not know which exits would be blocked.

Nicely done, this wouldn't be possible with a normal group of passengers though.

In real life, people would be shoving little kids out of the way, people crying, people huddled into corners, getting luggage, family members etc...

Very nice! I agree though Arthur. You forgot to include old people in your list of variables.
