Blah, blah, blah...
Amazing story, the airplane crashed and then:
"The plane came to a stop. The captain gave a one-word command, "Evacuate."" 

Like anybody needed to be commanded for that...   ;-)
ET 

PS: As a Commercial pilot (multi/single engine and gliders) and flight 
instructor (single engine and gliders) I consider this a story as one for 
the books.
Also, notice that several gliding success stories for airliners are pulled 
off by glider pilots.
Food for thought...
