Just watched the TV news - the bit I really liked was the passenger relating that one of the flight crew gave him his shirt off his back so he could stay warm - that's what I call devotion to duty. It's amazing what human beings can do when faced with adversity.

I think everyone involved can hold their heads up high - let's also bear in mind the emergency services who were on the scene within minutes. Watching the diver jump in from the chopper in record time was fantastic. All the boats that rushed to help - also the air traffic controllers who were onto it within seconds.
