Oh...Furball. "If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going."
Doesn't matter what led up to it, they saved the day. You can bet your bottom dollar they won't do it again either.
The show I saw most recently on National Gegraphic was based on cockpit recordings. I believe it was pretty accurate in the details. It just reaffirms the old rule "trust your instruments", which the pilot did not do. He also ignored the Co-pilots warnings they were approaching too fast and made an extremely hard landing. Of course it could have been much worse. They could have been too slow and undershot the approach. Kind of hard to regain speed at low alt in a deadstick A330. There was more luck than skill involved in that landing.
As for your little jab, I don't see where your political view is pertinent to the conversation at hand. It just shows you have a weak position and have nothing relevant to say.
