Thumbs up

At the end of the day, I am sure that many will agree that, a landing that we can all walk away from, is a good landing. And great work to the crew involved for making such an act happen. No loss of lives + am sure the "injuries" might have been over hyped ie. a buns burnt from sliding down the shoot could count for an injury? (legally that is... might be a lawyers/legal thing)

Not to mention falling bags on heads when opening baggage compartments (which is pretty much a must avoid too, like, using mobile phones to take videos in an emergency!) yeap - it could all count for an injury.... any excuse to make future claims eh? Anyway..

These are trying times for the aviation industry IMHO, and if you would look at what happened from the Satire news site on the MH131 (FAKE) case, we can see how the public just got it wrong, even when there really was nothing wrong.

Many have already spoken on why oxygen masks don't automatically deploy and how it's merely for rapid decompression etc so won't touch on it, but yes, will most definitely want to review the actions to help improve my own CRM knowledge -- esp the coordination between the flight deck, the cabin, the controller, the company and the customers! Believe there might have been a break in the chain somewhere but, was not there, don't have the data, so can't comment. What we read in books is one thing, having the variables from real-life stories, make it even more dynamic for learning + self improvement.

Am pretty much interested to know why the 2nd engine failed and/or caught fire too! Also, the crew's actions leading up to it. Leaving out the whole pandemonium inside the cabin aside. That, we can leave to the media to get ratings.
