This was a Finnair leisure flight from Helsinki, Finland (EFHK) to Langkawi, Malaysia (WMKL). Refueling stop in Ahmedabad, India (VAAH).

After the accident, we had to stay for about 16 hours in a local hotel (Hotel Haveli, to be exact) in Gandhinagar, near Ahmedabad. After that, a replacement aircraft arrived from Helsinki and our trip continued normally.

I can hear sincerity in the pilot's apology. There's nothing else he could really have done. Finnair is one of the best :)

[bramsmit2009]

i feel sorry for the pilot, it was not his fault. He did an excellent job!

@ikilem my guess is that it pretends to be a jetfighter!

@jacob1029 It tends to be Americans that get hysterical in times of very little crisis, closely followed by British women.

Listen catefully. The Captain's voice sounds like Gary McCord to me. Anyone else hear it.

@bajesus666..saying sorry doesn't just mean accepting fault, it can be said for purposes other than that...like for sympathy.."sorry to hear about your loss., for humility towards a costumer, "sorry that you were not happy with the food.., for someone you missed to acknowledge .."sorry I did not see you standing there. Apologizing is more abut humility. People in general would know what the apology is for anyways & contrary sorry isn't really hard to say, one just need to be sincere in saying it
