re: climbing back into the cabin
- current thought is setup up a rope ladder or cargo net on the slide to climb up
- could make something relatively simple and slide the injured people back up and into the plane - the slide won't be angled that much because no landing gear - so roughly 50% less angle than what it is designed for.
re: seats
If there is no way to mechanically force the seats, then that is a problem. I don't suppose the 12V backup system could be used to briefly restore power to the seats? That shouldn't have been damaged. I just don't know if that power is available to the seats or only to other critical systems.
