Airline Safety Card, yeah, that'll work.

Here is the water landing safety procedures from the small jet I took with Delta. This was approved by the FAA.

?1

So the woman sitting in the Exit Aisle, apparently a trained mountaineer, must grab the rope and make her way unaided down the wing while pulling the rope. She must then secure the rope to a clamp on the wing, in open seas. Then the passengers can use the rope to belay down the wing. At least they get a flotation device, which the woman doesn't get.

They are all going to die.

Did she vanish beneath the waves, or go back inside the cabin to make sure that people disembark by boarding group?

is pretty slim. Most of the time the airplane will break apart; the A320 on the Hudson was a one-off.
