Nagging minor question
Has anyone received an answer as to why the cabin crew and passengers were not informed that they were ditching and so did not have a chance to don life jackets before impact?
Would it have been a good idea for cabin crew (not knowing rescuers were so close) to advise passengers to grab their life vest from under the seat on the way out?
Given a member of crew walked the plane checking for disabled passengers, could/should they have grabbed life vests and distributed them to those on the wing?
