    Thats lowkey the best case scenario. No fire and no collision and stopped in an area where locals can easly access and help. If i was a person experiencing this incident it whould look scary from inside for example the wing section of the plane but in the end u is alive and unharmed and if there was no fire then exits whouldnt be as crowded but i mean some will still but thank god everyone is safe. (I gardened a bit so thats how i came up with this ) and to the person reading this i hope you have a great day and remember that you matter
