More seriously, this is where language skills count. Can't cover all bases but surely one flight attendant should be available to speak the languages expected to be used by most of the passengers?
Unfortunately language skills count for dick now .Cost cutting you know.Even if there had been a spannish speaker on board,those Russian ,Chineese etc,who don,t speak french,spanish,or english would have panicked.Not a fault of the cabin crew.
Why are you picking on the cabincrew,as far as we know all they did was sweat and shout,things that you would expect them to be doing in this kind of situation.............and I bet they had a far more stressfull time than the flight crew who would be in the cockpit dealing with the situation without 300 odd crazed passengers to deal with.
Think it through a bit
