Scary stuff! This is why emergency procedures are so very crucial to practice during our flight training!

Yes..safety procedures very important, because as the saying goes…feces happens..
By the way my two favorite aircraft are the B727 (a real hot rod) and very good looking aircraft…and the B747..what a great machine…the best!!
