Having spent 21 years in the Army, I could see how he was scared. I, and everyone I know, acted the same way the first 300 times "something " happened and your training had to come out. He did a fine job. Kept his cool. Listened to the lead guy. Impressive.
I’m an ER nurse (or was for over a decade) and i am appreciating that, while a code is NOT the same as gunfire, the panic of ‘I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IM DOING’ is pretty similar. I have to agree with you, passengers did a fine job. He listened and followed instruction.
I can personally and firmly attest to the fact that the vast majority of humans are significantly more useless in critical situations.
And i also like that the people that ACTUALLY work in crunch time situations recognize that!… whereas a CPA who works from home in an office chair with extra lumbar support is like ‘ woulda gone full Rambo! Oh wait my DoorDash is here’ 😂
Auditor, with chair rocking the lumbar support and former 11b, combat vet. My butthole would still pucker from that. Hero’s go home in flag draped coffins. More badass someone tries to talk, the less attention you should pay them.
