During a security incident, how should passengers be instructed to move?

• A. Push forward quickly to exit.
• B. Move slowly and crowd near crew.
• C. Move randomly to any available exit.
• D. Move in an orderly manner following crew directions; keep hands visible and follow light cues.

Answer: (D)

During a security incident, the priority is to move in a calm, controlled, and guided manner so exits stay accessible and crews can direct passengers to safety. Moving in an orderly way as instructed by crew, keeping hands visible, and following illuminated exit cues ensures everyone can evacuate efficiently without creating bottlenecks or confusion. Hands visible allows crew to quickly assess for threats or hidden items, while light cues provide clear guidance to the correct exits even if visibility is reduced. This approach reduces risk and speeds safe egress, unlike rushing, crowding, or wandering to random doors, which can cause injuries and hinder evacuation.
