Cool 21,000 fpm

"21000 feet per minute... who writes this stuff!? " (Johan JNB)

Cracked windscreen in a "Gripper". Emergency descent. Nos 1 & 3 to idle, then reverse. When above reverse idle, No 2 to idle (1 & 3 giving pressurisation). Rate of descent was so dramatic, I timed it on the stopwatch. 22,000 fpm. So there!
