Well, clearly its not your day. Nevertheless there's a thing called GPS that would produce accurate guidance, allowing a competent airmen (or woman) to glide to an airport that would have at least 6,000 and quite possibly 9,000ft of runway. A steep approach and I'd say there's a fair chance of stopping, or at least trundling off the end.

Lucille opined "because there really isn’t anything much you can do except point the aircraft in the direction where you have the better chance of making a controlled impact. That, and if you’re the religious type, a bit of prayer can’t hurt.'

I beg to differ. Rather than pray, I'd consider my options, use every tool available to me and fly the airplane. I'm not saying it'll be easy to retrieve such a situation, but its certainly not impossible. If you know how to fly.
