damn that was some quick thinking. If anyone feel this is not real, maybe you need to look again. As for going thru a checklist, the most immediate need was to find a place to land safely NOW due to the low altitude they were flying at. The video opened where they were already in trouble and may have gone thru some preparations prior to what was shown on tape. Otherwise, these to pilots would have not been so fortunate. Let's try not to be so skeptical of everything you see.
