I was on the flight and was quoted in the Denver Post article. I have to say that the pilot and crew were top notch on our flight. We could have been in a panic considering the condition the aircraft was in, but the FAs and pilots were calm and made it sound like just another day of flying, even though it clearly wasn't. That confidence helped all the passengers and even some that I saw who were really freaking out were able to calm down as a result of it. Feel free to ask questions if you want, I'll be in and out of the thread every so often and do my best to answer everything.
