I want this guy and God as my pilots.

I dunno how i'd react honestly if I was on a plane that I knew was going down..........

They say there hasn't been a successful water ditch in 45 years. Boy this could have been horrific if he had hit any of the bridges or, god forbid, landed in any populated area.

I'd probably have a panic attack and cause the rest of the plane to go into full panic crisis mode =p

That completely changes my view of the pre-flight emergency briefings. They make it sound like water landings are nothing to worry about.


I've been on a few bad flights, one of which dropped so frequently, steeply, and long that the lavatories ruptured and soaked the middle cabin area (not splashing, just soaking the carpet and all the bags under the seats). People were screaming for Jesus and yelling that we were all going to die. Never gave it much thought before, but what's the point of yelling, "We're gonna die, we're all gonna die!" when you're falling and everyone's already screaming?
