Acually brace is what the pilot would say! - Brandy Lea

@Brandy Lea: one of the passengers confirmed that it was the pilot who said, "brace for impact." I was going by an earlier report by MSNBC that the flight attendants are trained to do a short emergency procedure explanation before warning the passengers in this manner. Thanks for correcting. - Bill Koslosky, MD
