Seen it, its nice to know they can do it in 90 secs in prefect conditions but i highly doubt it would be same when fuselage is in 5-6 pieces, roof burning, floor collapsing, heavy toxic smoke every where, yeah tell me if 90 is good enough time to evacuate 800 Plus passengers!!...too good to be true for reality scenarios.

As far as tests are concerned, yeah they sure pulled it alright but Airbus should do similar tests in panic conditions with certain doors jammed, no flooring lights glowing, escape slides not operating.. etc etc!!...
