Also on the radio I probably would of not mentioned 'how' the engine was shut down.
Nothing "wrong" with telling all how and what happened
In any case - it does not really matter that they told us on the radio, because I am sure that it would come up in the safety investigation at some stage anyway.
It could easily be done - I know I have dropped a few clip boards on the flight deck in my time, probably more to come too. I have often looked at the 767 fuel control switches and wondered if they could get "knocked off..." - guess I now know
Looking from a human viewpoint - perhaps they were just a little startled at how events unfolded.....I am sure everyone will react slightly differently when startled (due what ever reason) - but the job got done never the less.
What a talking point at the bar - "there I was, clip board in one hand, pen in the other, smoking along at Mach 0.82 feeling like the biggest Big Kahuna of all Kahunas and nothing could possibly go wrong.........
