What would have happend if they had made Le Bourget with only 2-3 engines, possibly no brakes on one side, a massive fire, with the systems damage that it was causing....I hate to think.
Sioux City showed that even the most violent crash on a runway can give you survivors.
Stalling and dropping out of the sky into a hotel, well, we know how many survivors that resulted in.
Can't remember which of the various reports I read it in contained it, but it mentioned that only 20-30 seconds of further controlled flight would have got them on the ground at Le Bourget, and any result of that would have been better than what they got.
