This event reminds me of the Apollo 13 incident. Not the actual incident or cause, but the response to it.
An event that occurred which had not been thought of, or tested, or trained for.
The response by multiple organisations and individuals working the problem, doing the improbable, thinking outside the square, performing tasks that would normally take extensive resources and time, and developing multi-level solutions.
Consider the multiple employment disciplines involved in this event, science, aviation, satellite techology, computer and mobile phone technology, weather and marine science, data analysists, to name but a few.
If there is a positive outcome to this situation, I think these actions will add to our extensive knowledge and provide solutions for future events and improvement to not only aviation but all facets of life.
