Did anyone see the results of their ground test evacuating 600 people in 90 seconds? I have trouble believing that's possible.

Maybe they're just going to have really athletic passengers.

It takes 89 seconds to open the belly door and 1 second to pull the lever.

The evacuation test should be fine. Running away is a french specialty. They should pass with flying colors.

Seriously, though, the A340 crash in Canada showed that Airbus does design effective escape systems.

Yes that would cause one to have a brown alert.
