Why would anyone have been bracing for anything? It was a "normal landing" as far as everyone in the back knew until the moment the plane struck the sea wall. There had been no PA, no warning, nothing. I thought this at least had been thoroughly established. And we now also know that 2 of the FA's had been pinned by slides deploying inside the cabin and 2, possibly 3 thrown out of the aircraft. They could have been bracing in full body armor with crash helmet and Nomex gear and all the above events would have still happened.
Sorry guys... but after 80 plus pages... the comments are getting goofy.
