I actually think the length of time Req to complete the rescue was quite remarkable considering the situation. Specific equipment had to be obtained and arrive at the scene along with the people with the proper training just to ensure it was safe to begin the rescue. After that the plane had to be secured before any attempt to be made to remove the occupant. All of this takes time to ensure no injury occurred to the rescue personnel nor further injury to the passengers of the plane.
