The said aircraft landed with 285 tons (tonnes) of fuel and 302 "people" on board. The microphones or the radio on Speedbird one sixteen were obviously much better by a long way than every other aircraft around at the time.

And why were the pilots so calm and collected? Did they automatically switch into "This is just an excersize in a simulator" mode?

I am awestruck! "like to confirm emergency services will be available but this should be a normal landing...."

Unreal.......
