Couple of questions that were asked of the patient and husband at the end of the show lastnight.
Chat: Bernie and Gary Currall
minfuel asks: Did you receive any briefing and instructions from the crew prior to the aircraft ditching? Furthermore did you receive a proper safety briefing from the crew prior to departure?
Gary: We received a very brief explanation how to operate the emergency exit from the Doctor before we departed. The co-pilot told us we would ditch and the doctor handed out life jackets and placed two life rafts in the aisle of the aircraft. That’s about the only instruction we got.
arfur asks: Did the captain assisted you getting off the plane as it seems a little odd that he appeared to jump "ship" ......as you mentioned that he ran past you ?
Gary: The pilot was the first to exit the plane. As far as I'm aware he didn't assist anybody.
