People give flight attendants a hard time, but they are in those planes to save lives in times like this; not to serve drinks (but they do that too). I bet they did their jobs well this time. I hope everyone thinks about this the next time they look down on an FA.

Amen. Have great respect for flight attendants. One applied CPR to a friend who was having a heart attack some years ago...saved his life. Pray for her every day.
Amen.
I hate flying. I know all the safety statistics, but I find it terrifying nonetheless.
And, yes, I've had two scares on commercial flights more than 15 years ago - one on Delta, one on US Air. Both incidents were weather-related.
CNN now has CTV interview with someone claiming to be a surviving passenger. French accent, name 'Olivier Dubos', said plane's power shut down right before landing, no lights 1 minute before crashing.
