Hi cbabcock1000,
Welcome to PPRuNe, and I'm really glad you're here and safe and able to talk to us.
Do you feel up to telling all these armchair pilots what really happened...as far as you know anyway (I gather you don't know why etc). And I for one won't criticise no matter what, since I know it's really easy to make the right decisions when seated at your PC, and horribly difficult when you're up there and know your life may depend on getting it right...and I haven't had to do that over water.
Edited since I posted at the same time as cbabcock1000's second post
