From the looks of it, the rear cabin passengers had to walk down the inflatable escape slide.

Looks like the rudder snapped off too. That was one hard landing.
My opinion is a plane shouldn't come up that short of the runway because of a loss of engine power at 600ft. They must have been quite a bit below the glide slope. There will be more to this story.

That flight attendant looks EXACTLY like my wife’s aunt. I guess they say everyone has a twin somewhere, and we found hers!

Splash one jumbo.
Courageous flying, to be sure. This crew deserves high praise. But nothing compares to the heroism of Capt. Al Haynes and the crew of United Flight 232.

Is it me, or does the lady on the right look like she's still in shock?

Mr Coward said he is not nervous about flying again This fellow really needs to change his last name. I don't think I'm the only one who'd have a hard time stifling laughter if he was introduced to me by name and I knew who he was.
