Just finished reading QF32 and I really appreciate the honesty by the author and suspect that it's not an easy task to relate personal thoughts to the general public.
Further, the roles that Captains De Crespigny and Sullenberger took on after their respective incidents is difficult to comprehend. To have incidents such as these is big enough for the average Pilot to cope with. To then become open and approachable by the public afterwards is a role that most pilots would be very reluctant to take on.
These two gentlemen have accepted these important post incident roles and as a result we are all better off for the information shared.
Thankyou.
P.S. Our old 1960's farm bike from my teenage years had a kill switch on it. Any chance that the A380 as complex as it is could have external kill switches installed on the engines that are safely accessible to fire crews?
