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.
Scary in a simulator ... fuck being in the real thing !!

@Stargazer only works with very ripe pineapples, otherwise it's a mission to pull apart like that. Cool idea though.

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!
Yeah, it's one of my fave shows as well. I think it's because almost all air crashes get huge coverage, and you always wonder what happened.
I saw the CX 780 one last night too. Amazing story, full credit to the pilots and the investigators. Who would think "maybe if I nudge the throttle very very slowly that might work".
Pilots are epic. Except for @Snowy ... whose just epically tall.
