It's a good example of how the regs got it right re time for cabin evacs. When things go wrong it's not normally one thing, but many combining, that's been my experience in the incidents I have been involved with previously as an ATC and SARMC.

By the sounds of it the tech crew were lucky to get out, Vis was so bad they could not locate the ropes.
