but what are you going to do now, after this happened, if it happens to you?

the bell and light, if you get them, have to be believed. no other sane choice. 

people obsess about "establishing OEI condition.". ...just dump collective and haul nose up to less than 110 knot attitude. that's "established" and it takes about 3 seconds. 

then flip the guard and mash the button. you're supposed to get certain indications that it worked. while waiting on those--and again, all this takes about another 3 seconds--confirm you have the correct switch/same as the FIRE side, and shut the engine down with the switch also. this will kill it immediately. 

now if the FIRE light goes off, you can land "as soon as possible." you're the boss. what does that mean to you? do you feel lucky?

if it stays on, it's land IMMEDIATELY. i guess that means different things to different people. after watching the video, i know what it means to me, now. what does it mean to you, now?
