Maybe all of that was unnecessary, but it sounds like not just flight crew but pax were trying to help out. If true, that deserves some credit.
Yes it does and perhaps in due course we will hear about the heroic actions that occurred inside the cabin.

I was however railing against the pilots actions being described as heroic. The captain and first officer did a very competent job in the cockpit, no doubt about it - and the cherry on top was Tammy's concern for her passengers after landing. She could have left the evacuation to cabin staff and emergency crews - but she took her time to re-assure passengers etc, that's class.
