And otherwise you could always revert to the last possible thing on a pilots
mind:

"Ladies and gentleman, this is your  captain speaking. We have just lost all
control of the plane due to a loss of all of our primary and auxiliary
control surfaces. No reason to panic, we've simulated this with M$ flight
simulator set to easy more than a dozen of times... Could 4 people on the
right side of the aircraft please move to the left of the aircraft for a
couple of seconds. Could two of those four people please move down to seat
row one-hundred together with two more people. Could all the first class
passengers please RUN TO THE VERY BACK OF THE AIRCRAFT!!! (...as if their
life depended on it...)"

Reminds me of something a dutch comedian had in his show... extremely funny.
