A380 EMERGENCY EVACUATION TEST
neway47
Footage of Airbus's 2006 certification evacuation trial of the A380, in which 873 people left the aircraft within the required 90 seconds using half of the 16 doors. The test was supervised by EASA and the FAA, and one passenger broke a leg.
Cited in threads about evacuation rules, mostly as an example of a certification test that commenters call unrealistic.
