Fortunately the fuel tanks were not punctured and a fire was avoided. It would have been. devastating otherwise. The one remaining AC FA, will have had to deal with this alone. The images indicate no exit chutes were deployed, with wing exits used. This is going to be one awful event to process for the surviving FAs and passengers. 76 passengers, 4 crew.
The next few days are gonna be tough… I can’t imagine how everyone that was involved in the whole thing including the united flight feel.
