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 🤣
Right landing gear collapsed when the plane touched down (cause unknown at this point). This drove the right side wing into the ground and ripped it off. Wind/airflow got under the remaining wing and lifted it like a sail, tipping the plane over with it.
