And they very much didn’t panic. I was actually quite annoyed with this evening’s BBC report, in which the breathless reporter trotted out a litany of boiler-plate phrases as if she hadn’t actually seen the footage she was voicing over. “There was chaos” she intoned, over pictures of people, clearly scared, nevertheless staying in their places as instructed until the plane was stopped and the slides were deployed. 400-odd people don’t escape a burning plane if there’s chaos.
I wonder what would have happened if that had been a Ryanair flight.
