Yeah, this is a great Mayday episode. The crew did an outstanding job but I sure get a kick out of the cabin steward. The whole time this is going on, he constantly reassures everybody that there's no cause for concern and that everything will be all right. I'm sure everybody looking out the windows and seeing the 40 ft flames coming out the back of the engines must of thought he was bonkers. Not to mention the ash floating around inside the 747 that looked like smoke, the engines all cutting out and the oxygen masks deploying at one point. Oh yeah, no reason to worry. I think the only time he actually acknowledges that there is a problem is when he uses the bullhorn to announce that the public addressing system is not working.

There are occasional used copies that come up for sale but a bit out of my price range.
