the story of Cathay Pacific flight 780
An awful lot more to that story. It wasn't a double engine failure for starters. One failed and the other was "stuck" at a middle range power setting that the pilots couldn't change, hence the high speed landing.
I know both of the pilots and they did an amazing job.
I have had a go in a sim myself and got it to a stop safely as well but fucking scary.

I hoped you'd find that post eventually - almost tagged you in it
I like the Air Crash Investigations stories where the crew and passengers are alive to retell the story!

@Donsteppa A bit busy moving house, etc at the moment - or killing people and making suits out of them depending on who you believe on the fern.
However I have found it and it is mostly true as I understand what happened. Saying it was a double engine failure is a push though. I won't go into it all.
I had Dave as my F/O for years, really calm sound guy and they got the deserved result. -
