Didn't mean to imply that. The "Oh, Shi#" takes about four to ten seconds
to realize that you are really in a pile of it. The rest of the minute or
two to impact is securing all the heavy stuff (including the passengers),
briefing them that this is NOT a drill, and hitting the softest, least
expensive object you can find (in that order).

Done it twice, walked away both times. One with an airplane that was then
scrap and once with an unscratched airplane.

You can practice many activities for a lifetime without an emergency. When
pilots all start talking about their "inevitable" emergencies, it hardly
sounds reassuring. No emergency is inevitable, and anyone who expects an
emergency to come along is likely to be gratified by one sooner or later.
