Which is a lesson from the incident no-one would argue with. It's an absurd comparison though. Sully got most things right in an unprecented extremely high pressure situation, with a huge number of unknown variables and decisions to be made in a split second. The question is, did the commander act in the most reasonable manner and were their decisions appropriate, logical, and justifiable given the circumstances. For Sully the answer is unquestionably yes. For this crew, I think many come to a different conclusion.
The SQ situation was a very well trained and known quantity, in which the SOP is very clear. And the videos show every point made by slayerdude to be untrue. Which makes one question their motives no? We also see the abscence of fuel under the aircraft in the evac video.
Mr Snuggles video shows pax being told to
keep their seatbelts fastened You're told to keep them unfastened during boarding if fueling is taking case, in case evacuation is necessary, but with the wing on fire, hey strap yourself in and enjoy the show! The whole thing is a complete clusterf***.
