As I suspected, you don't.

So what is the explanation why it took an hour and a half to get
passengers out on this occasion? It does seem an awfully long time.

In the airline industry, there are standards set for how long it should
take to empty an aircraft in an emergency evacuation. 90 seconds comes
to mind. I know that this was not that sort of emergency, but are there
standards set by LU for the maximum time that passengers should be stuck
underground?
