I read his book QF32 - amazing stuff. The entire crew were calm under pressure!!

The bit that blew my mind was 900 degree brakes discs with fuel pouring out of the wing tanks and the whole thing not blowing up. I'm not surprised there are psychological consequences for those who were aboard.

Pity the cockpit voice recording was lost - according to the book it only records X minutes before the last engine is shut down, which took several hours. It took several days for the aircraft to be deemed "safe". Would have been an amazing learning tool for crisis resource management.
