Default 'Sheer panic' in plane evacuation

I've only ever done this previously as a practice exercise but wouldn't like to be there if there had been a serious fire...luckily casualties and injuries were few:

Quote:
Passengers on an Alicante-bound plane from Glasgow Airport have described "sheer panic" after "swirling" smoke in the cabin forced an emergency stop.
Stephen McFadden said "people started running" as the pilot of the Jet2 737 shouted "get out, get out" following the emergency stop at 07:40.
Six passengers were taken to hospital and another 11 were treated at the scene for minor injuries.
