Mana, sorry have to disagree with you there. Depending on carrier-specific training, the crew are taught that in an unprepped emergency, Brace should be called prior to touchdown.
If the engine let go and then resulted in heavy smoke/vibration, the CC have no way to know if there is other structural/cpntrol damage. Of course time permitting the NITS briefing would take care of that, but if that was not done then better to assume controllabilty issue requiring Brace postion than to not do it.
Not like it's going to panic the pax any more than a cabin full of smoke.
Agree- pax o2 just looked weird...
Pax- turn off your silly phones, geez!
Can't stream the video at the mo, but depending on what kind of triple bongs you guys are referring to, it could also be the lav smoke alarm (Airbus has triple lo chimes in the inital, and repeating thereafter. A one-off triple hi-lo is, as mentioned, emergency call from cockpit)
