The amount of emergency vehicles racing to the scene looks like typical American overkill. It was only a Dash 8, not an A380
Most FDs in the US have a standard callout for an airplane in distress, which can be pretty impressive. They roll without giving a rat's ass about the aircraft type; for most of them, excluding the ARFF, it's not important. What type of response would you prefer if it were your aircraft?
