I don't think anyone here has treated PTSD as a joke.
Sorry, but I disagree with you on that. For example:
Its not like anyone died, there was no smoke or fire or anything that could leave a lasting imprint on someone. Sure it would be stressful, for about 10mins (the flight would have been only 3 or 4 mins long) but is that enough to cause long term damage? If so, eat a bag of cement and harden up.
I'm terribly vexed after reading this thread. Who can I sue?
Ungrateful bastards
They may be very grateful for the skill and heroism of the flight crew. They may also be shattered by the experience.
