Video: Airbus A380 Test Evacuation

by Justin Glow on Apr 30, 2007


Last year we reported that the Airbus A380 passed its jumbo jet evacuation test in Hamburg, Germany, and here’s the video to prove it. The crew was able to evacuate all 873 people on-board in almost complete darkness in 77 seconds, with only one broken leg (out of 1,746!) and 32 minor injuries. Not too shabby!
