This is a classic example of why I don't buy the "we're here primarily for your safety" stuff - frankly I am never going to rely on a 20-something recruited primarily for her looks and service focus for my safety.)

The accident report is here: http://www.airdisaster.com/reports/n...CAAR-02-01.pdf
There were one or two honourable exceptions to my comment above, but not many out of a cabin crew of 17. Half the passengers died, but only 4 of the cabin crew.
