Extended coverage from Chinese TV here: C919, China's first big jetliner, makes maiden flight

Warning, doesn't get airborne until 52 minutes in! :)

Did anyone notice that the flight crew did not have helmets on nor did they seem to be a wearing parachute or life jackets? Every first flight I've watched the crew had full gear on.
