That was fantastic, and terrifying. I long ago read an article about a ‘17 minute’ rule - 17 minutes being a golden number between first indication and losing the aircraft. I thought I had downloaded it but can’t find it.

About 10 years ago when working for a long haul VIP charter, we had the opportunity to train with the flight attendants on a simulated in flight fire over the water (it was a one jet, small company). Could we find all the emergency equipment, could we coordinate, etc. I think it’s safe to say we were all deeply humbled and unimpressed with our knowledge and perceptions on just how ‘good’ we were.

Thanks for sharing!!!
