A380 Evacuation: Run Away! Run Away!

Link found on Fark.com.

This the evacuation test for Airbus's monstrous A380. They got more than 800 people off the aircraft in 77 seconds.

Of course in a real emergency there would be other issues (such as random human behaviour) and most flights won't have the benefit of flight attendants yelling at passengers in German.

On the flip side, most A380 customers "only" plan to put 555 passengers in it.

So if I'm ever on an A380 and it crashes inside the hangar, and I'm wearing a dance marathon shirt, and I'm german, I'll have no reason to panic.
