Ish123, I can't reply to your comment but you're exactly right[1] and I can't help but wonder if pilots are trained this way, someone like me (I have never flown any kind of plane my entire life) and you came to this conclusion then why did they react the way they did? The whole situation just seems so simply avoidable. Then again, I'm not flying a huge plane with hundreds of people on it in darkness with pounding thunder/rain/lightning and all sorts of gizmos blinking and making noise at me. It almost seems like something else should be added to the training curriculum and routinely tested that hardens pilots nerves and prepares them for some of the most stressful situations they could ever encounter such as before grunts go off to combat.
