Weapons_Hot, mate exactly what I was thinking. The report im sure will explain alot but I also have to ask:
1. There may have been panic, but why did only 3 people have life jackets?
2. The flight must have had a PNR and CP so if he got current weather at that time and saw the weather was OVC002 why did he not divert?
But on a positive note...my hat off to the pilot for ditching safely at night with it overcast meaning no moonlight.
Thank goodness no one was seriously hurt.
