Sorry but if the crew got it absolutely right how did they finish up with a Mayday at Manchester and no option for a go-around?
How do you know they did? The only suggestion of this comes from two spotters listening out on different frequencies, neither of whom are qualified to fly the 744. Do you think that perhaps they might have put two and two together and made five? There is an enormous difference between being unable to fly a go around and not wanting to fly one.
