MSNBC interviewed one passenger who said it took 5 minutes for him to get off the plane. It was filling up with water. He had to walk out in water knee-deep in the plane.

Please tell me that passenger wasn't complaining. Jerk should have been thanking God (and the pilots) that he was alive.

The “jerk” was one of the men who let all the women and children get out first.
And I imagine 99% of the people in the rescue effort were men.

So maybe you oughta put a lid on it.

I doubt that very much. Perception of time by persons in crisis and under stress is very distorted. Ten seconds can feel like a minute.

It's truly astounding that everybody survived. Not only was nobody badly hurt but they hardly even got wet! Wow!

He wasn't complaining. He was just chronicling what was happening inside the plane during the initial minutes after it hit the water.

why a jerk? He was describing what happened. I don’t understand the urge to label people jerks especially when they just escaped death in a miraculous way.
