Which supports what that message board post said, that they didn't call muster (the only way to get a head count). That does seem a tad irresponsible. What with crew giving out hugs, and no call for emergency procedures, it seems that someone thought "avoiding panic" was more important than taking safety precautions. When, in fact, taking safety precautions and relying on the kinds of emergency procedures that we're all programmed to follow from school age is exactly what prevents panic.
