Re: Not one Crewmember... Apart from gauges in the cockpit, when cabin crew are seated for taxi/takeoff, I don't think it's a realistic expectation for them to be able see fuel "gushing". I just don't think they have the vantage point like a pax in say 21A/21F.
You're right. Once those flight attendants plop down in their jump seats, they become off-duty, turn on those reading lamps, and start reading a book until 10,000 feet. Shouldn't have any realistic expectations of them of observing the over wing exit windows or overhearing passengers talking, that Fifty Shades book isn't going to read itself.
