  The thing in this episode that blew my mind is that the runway in Bristol was dry.

  Controller: &quot;Hey these two planes are about to collide. Have a good day I&apos;m going home!&quot;<br><br>Relief Controller: WTH!

  I am absolutely astounded that the ATC just stood up and clocked out as this was happening. Incredible

  An extra detail from the report:<br><br>Bristol ATC first became aware of the emergency traffic inbound at 1110 hrs &nbsp;when they were called by ATC at West Drayton, who advised that EZY6074 was over the south coast of England in a descent, but not in radio contact. <br><br>Bristol ATC took action to notify all the responsible authorities to ensure the airport was prepared to accept the emergency aircraft. A full emergency was declared by the airport at 1116 hrs. All air traffic movements at Bristol Airport were suspended as the aircraft approached. When the aircraft was established on final approach, the tower controller broadcasted blind transmissions giving landing clearance and surface wind information.

  this is a crazy story I&apos;ve never heard about. The electrical failure, the near miss prevented by ATC on gut instinct, the lack of radios, the fear of being shot down if they deviate, and a crew that managed the situation well with their limited Airbus experience. These were great pilots.

  Those pilots did a great job. They were calm and didn&apos;t panic and everyone lived.

  That first officer wasn&apos;t suffering from hypoxia.. It was a clear panic attack. Poor him, the captain knew this and that is why he said they don&apos;t need the masks because he was clearly feeling fine in comparison with his colleague<br>...<br>(*PS: For all the people below associating panic attacks to lack of courage, or virility, or whatever... let me clarify you something - in the face of a life threatening situation, the first officer body went instinctively into &quot;fight or flight&quot; mode. One of the many physiological reactions associated with it is the intake of extra Oxygen to be used to fight or to run away (flight). Since the first officer could not do any of the 2 because he was too busy sitting down and handflying an entire aircraft, the extra Oxygen went unused for its purpose so he ended up hyperventilating, causing dizziness, ect. which in result turned into a panic attack. <br>So the panic attack was just a byproduct of the unability to use the extra Oxygen, not necessarily due to lack of courage.<br>Hope that clarifies 😉 )

  I would love to see an interview with the pilots to hear them describe how they were feeling throughout it all

  These pilots did a tremendous job. Listening to these stories taught me that when things of technical nature go wrong, human nature can make it a hundred times worse. The two men in the cockpit that day did every single thing right, despite the absolutely dire circumstances. Amazing!
