I once got to interview flight attendant Joan Berry Hale, survivor of the 1960 Eastern Airlines crash in Boston Harbor. As rescue crews paddled out to the wreckage, they kept trying to put her in a life raft & take her ashore. Hale wouldn't leave the craft until all the injured were accounted for.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

Did you stay in the airline industry after that, I asked her.
"About two weeks, I went back to flying," said Hale. "The thing to do is to get back with it."
