That's what I see as well. Everyone needs to remember that we are witnessing untrained personnel, in the form of airline passengers, participating in what was, for them, and unrehearsed drill. I think they did pretty damn well.
I had the pleasure of participating in several evacuation drills over the years on three different models of aircraft. We did these as a part of the certification process for new models or model variations. It was an awful lot of fun, but we were not under the pressure of a raging fire or anything.
It was always amazing how difficult it was to pull this off in anything resembling an "orderly" fashion, even with folks who knew it was coming, and were in no panic. We did no better than the passengers in this video.
