On the face of it & having viewed the video (Jabawocky post), surely one could safely conclude, this was a major stuff up by SQ & could so easily have resulted in numerous fatalities. I agree, there would have been risks in evacuating, there always are of course & injuries or worse may well have occurred, but to me, keeping the pax & crew on the aircraft in this instance, could so easily & so very quickly, have ended up a disaster.
No axe to grind at all & I still include SQ among my airlines of choice, but this was a very poor show by them & still no open & in depth announcements from them.
Not my own view in particular folks, but, In a case such as this, law suits in Singapore of course would not work, but how about in the US, against both the Company & also the Captain, for needless endangerment of the pax??
Any thoughts from the many legal experts out there.
