Probability and Providence
"
It heavily depends on the circumstances, i.e., when and where the dual failure occurred.
The situation will be very different if the engines quit during daylight, in good visibility conditions, at an altitude and distance such that the aircraft can glide to an airport and end up on a runway, or if they fail at low altitude in the middle of nowhere, amid mountains, above the sea, or above a large city.
So the final outcome will heavily depend on ‘providence,’ as well as on the pilots’ gliding skills and ability to make the right decisions."
