Pretty good programme IMHO - in the same vein as the one on the Friedrichshafen mid-air on BBC1 last year. Obviously inspired from the CAIB report.
Having been cabin crew in a previous life, I can't help but wonder why the flight deck crew didn't ask one of the flight attendants to stay in the cockpit with a smoke hood and extra fire extinguishers handy to investigate/fight the fire if necessary
Some lack of CRM?
Also, if the EMERGENCY descent checklist needs 20 minutes to be implemented, then obviously, these checklists sorely need to be reviewed - and pruned!
Noticed that when the FO shut down engine no.2, the computer animation actually showed the starboard engine (no.3) being shut down... No2 is the TAIL engine on an MD-11.
