It was big news and when it first broke all we got word of was that a plane had crashed into the river.... Everyone immediate thought back to 9/11. Was out sightseeing on the water a few days after and it was quite amazing to see the all the water police, cranes and flashing lights.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-949392790269171632.post-48208414206707047012009-01-17T00:34:00.000+03:002009-01-17T00:34:00.000+03:00I think it actually wasn't prepared apart from the captain's Brace command. Remember they were airborne for 3 minutes no more. Knowing crew would have to be in their jumpseat for take off, they probably stayed in their jumpseat until ditching. Most likely shouting commands and instructions from their door. IE lifejackets, brace position and evacuation commands once in the water. Kudos to the cabin crew and good effin job from the captain in command as well as his FOAirboyhttp://airboy.sodwee.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-949392790269171632.post-45239023346214662282009-01-16T10:13:00.000+03:002009-01-16T10:13:00.000+03:00Wow, that's quite amazing.Carlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08423696800295940382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-949392790269171632.post-63339204577835577972009-01-16T09:50:00.000+03:002009-01-16T09:50:00.000+03:00From what I can gather, it seems to be 'semi prepared'... in that the pilot-not-flying gave a brace for impact command and that it seems they took an extra lap round to the river to give the cabin crew time to prep the pax as much as possible.<BR/><BR/>Big shout out to the pax who seemed to have stayed calm, rather than going off their heads and just jumping in the water. Seems the (cabin) crew did a fantastic job of crowd control on this one!<BR/><BR/>(Soall my grumbling about 25mins to get rafts off a 737 isn't too far off the mark, and do-able!) :pTraytablehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11480385741777998383noreply@blogger.com
