The actual thing a pilot does first in an emergency, or when the emergency is first realized, is to mutter those very famous words, "oh chit". My uncle flew in the air force for thirty three years from prop planes during WW II to B 52's during Vietnam, and he told me those two words are the first post emergency words enunciated in virtually all instances by pilots and people in the cockpit. My wife had a math professor that I was dying to meet, because as a navigator on B 52's in Vietnam he was shot down twice and survived. I wanted to ask him if thats what he said when the missiles hit the plane and never did before he passed.
