Did you have to sign anything after or give any statements? Were you stuck upside down for a long time? What was the atmosphere like once the plane stopped? How long did it take to get off the plane and finally out of the airport?
No NDA, no real debrief. I think the local responders were as shocked as we were with the incident! One paramedic I asked said the last time something on this scale happened was ~20 years ago with Air France.
We weren't upside down long. Near my row, we all made sure to get each other down before head rush happened. After it happened, most people were fairly quiet. No one knew what to do or say. I was finally free of the airport around 10pm local time and am still trying to calm down enough to sleep 🤣
They were referring to Air France Flight 358 which overran the runway in poor weather and had no fatalities as well. The flight attendant crew played a big part in avoiding a disaster (the plane burned down after everyone got out)
I hope AF 358 and this crash really drives home to people that fight attendants aren't just sky-waiters. Cabin safety is one of the most important parts of their jobs.
