Well done by that crew. Bet there was some adrenalin. Great future LOFT training there.

Few years back when I was at Korean, an American 747 classic freighter Captain picked up an a/c at Gimpo that had been loaded in heavy rain and something didn't work with the water shields/seals (or something!) in the E and E. Result, a mini tidal wave as they accelerated. As he approached V1, one by one the 3 INS red lights came n and he lost the lot. Fortunately being "old school" he could fly by standby a/h and magnetic compass and timed turns so got it back. Think the company gave him a round the world First Class ticket etc. Goes to show though that these things can happen (remember Sioux City?) and that sims should be able to replicate it and give us all some exposure.
