‘Brace Brace’ Announcement
Quite rightly, announcing to passengers what is going in is low in the priority list when pilots are dealing with an emergency. They need to deal with the situation and tell pax what is going on later.
However, if there is small chance that an aircraft may crash-land / very hard-land (call it what you will), should it not be the case that the ‘brace brace’ announcement is made as a matter of routine? Although this will scare some passengers on the occasions it is not needed, could it help prevent head trauma injuries that could be avoided?
(Question asked with no speculation at all on the cause of this accident).
