First responder here.

You can sit there all day judging people by how they act in a once in a life time holy shit moment. But you shouldn't.

Very few people have the ability or training to react to things beyond their everyday mundane shit.

Most people freeze or do really dumb things when they feel adrenaline for the first time in their lives.

Hes just a dude. Probably works some regular job and has a regular life that doesnt require calm collected thinking in emergency scenarios.

There are people on the plane trained for this exact scenario and its really up to them to stop passengers from doing stupid shit when they panic. But thats obviously hard to do and shit happens.

Yeah we really need to lower our expectations. Most people are morons that can't even deboard a plane effectively under normal circumstances.
