Unfortunate accident. In my experience as a former airline pilot, many times I was pressured by passengers to take off in thunderstorms, thick fog, heavy snow and even thick smoke. I guess the passengers felt that death would be better than being an hour late. Whenever a passenger demanded to know why I wouldnt take off, I would lok at them for a minute, then calmy state that I didnt feel like dying today, but if you are in such a rush to die, go on another flight that doesnt care about your safety.

Did you go back to the passenger cabin to make your explanations personally, or invite each passenger that had a complaint into the cockpit?
