Hi, yes I have found it is not streaming too well myself.
It is now on You Tube ;

Buffering probs there as well. The trick is to start 'play' then 'pause'
and wait several minutes for the vid to download before pressing 'play' .
Personally I think I would have been far happier in the cockpit, knowing
what was going on.
I really feel for the passengers particularly on the starboard side and
behind the engines. They saw all the flames and heard the explosions.
It may well have reminded them of the Concorde incident and I expect many
will be having post traumatic stress after this.
And a "just a routine return to the air****t" from the captain to the
passengers probably did little to calm their nerves.
Personally I'd be sh***ing myself in their position and having no control
of
the events evolving.
'Up front' we ( usually ! ) have a good handle on the situation, know
what
to do and are far too busy with procedures
to start panicking - training, knowledge, experience, professionalism.
I'm just pleased it went so well.
