This is worth submitting to TheDailyWTF (http://thedailywtf.com), if it hasn’t been already. That’s pretty bad, although pretty funny too.

That word obviously should have been evacuating. On a steno keyboard, the J and the V are part of the same letter. It’s hard to explain, but one little tiny finger error can change the word. So from a captioner’s viewpoint, it’s easy to see how this could have happened!
