Did any of yous here about the Incident In Dublin Airport yesterday when an AirLingus Aircraft Developed problems in the Cabin/Cockpit and the Airport Full Emergency Plan was put into place. As I withness (Hapless By-Stander) that after first call of disstress being placed the plan was in full swing in less than Five Minutes, So i think it will be interesting to see how well the Air Corp Preforms similiar to its civil aviation neighbours. I think as usual they will deliver above expected results!

I can  say that from the alarm sounding to getting to the a/c it took the crash rescue crews  about 1 minute, I know they were forewarned, but they didnt know what to expect when they got there other than an a/c down. Went off qiute well in my opinion dispite they dark, damp morning. From plane down to wrapping up and handing over the scene to the investigators it took a little over two hours which is pretty good seen as the scenario was being changed constantly by the umpires if you can call them that.
