    Not a bad rapid egress, but damned if I'd want to try it! From either end!

    Me, neither! I was always taught that water inside an aircraft was a bad thing.

    Hmmm ... :x

    Anyway -

    Notice how the ramp stays open till after takeoff - I imagine it's a necessary part of the procedure - ie. lets all the water drain out and door difficult to close when submerged.
