Life Vests

When the B767 ditched many of the passengers who inflated their life vests while still in their seats were trapped in the aircraft.

In the Hudson incident this was not the case.

If 155 passengers had time to put on life vests a percentage may have inflated them when seeing the aircraft was in water.

This would have slowed the evacuation of the aircraft.
