While I doubt that anyone who knows me would refer to me as a drama queen dressed in a man's clothes, I don't think that seeing flames coming from an engine of a plane that I was on would give me warm fuzzies, and I doubt that the crew was entirely sanguine either.
I do know that I'd not speak to the media on camera.
Been there, done that, ended up looking like a twit, although the brief interview didn't involve aviation.
You see, they edit the shoot as they see fit for the evening news, so they can easily make anyone look like a twit, except for those who've either had the experience or who've had the benefit of professional coaching.
Good outcome for all, though. Nobody injured and the aircraft not harmed. Good work by the crew.
