Well done Basil...
batboy,
I've just re-read my posting.
Was a bit harsh and I withdraw - sorry.

It seems that many people are uncomfortable facing up to inconvenient facts.
It would also appear that by the time the AAIB report is eventually published -everybody has forgotten about the incident and moved on - but maybe not with this one?

This is generating a huge Pprune silence ?? , was it a non event ?? i thought there would have been a post report comment or two, interesting that the Panicked PA call i mentioned seems to have been all to real what with the fact that the pilots were in a state of 'hyperventilation' according to the report....of course this would have been more easier to determine if he VDR actually worked....

Yes, it was in the end a nonevent. I am sure the crew didn't think so at the time, but they handled it the right way.
I have to laugh at the comments and anxiety about "panicked tone of voice". Who gives a sh#t how they say it, it's what they say and what they do that counts. The last thing I am considering as I run through the QRH is the hurt feeling of the passengers if I am loud or fast on the PA. The number one priority is flying the aircraft, everything else is secondary. PAs are way down the list.
Fly the jet!

The number one priority is flying the aircraft
1. Aviate (Don't crash)
2. Navigate (Don't crash into a hill)
3. Communicate (Way down the list - a bit like food in: Protection, Location, Water, Food)
