Ignition Overide,
Another oversight/mistake was that in the rush to land the crew never obtained landing clearance.
Sorry for the "True Story" label but it's actually well known among the crews who flew the B727 into/out of MIA in the early to mid 90's.
Just for info, you might be surprised to know that the a/c *with* passengers was flown on the short hop to SDQ by the same crew, albeit after a lengthy delay.
Not the case with the years earlier B747.

Cheers, 811
