I appreciate this is a purely hypothetical question, and I'm not intending to shake the "which is better B versus A" flag.
Nevertheless, given identical circumstances and the aircraft flown in exactly the same way, speeds, heights, timings, etc would the outcome have been any different had the aircraft been a modern Airbus, say A380, rather than the 747-400? In other words would an Airbus have offered any better protection, eg warnings, flight envelope, or made it any clearer that a (very) long landing was going to happen unless action was taken?
