just tried it in the 777 sim...

... and we crashed exactly where they did...

gross weight 200 tons, 143 knots on the glide at 2 miles exactly and shut down the engines. neither the RAT nor the APU has time to start before impact which means only the captains flight instruments are showing. if the f/o was indeed flying, at least one engine was pulling enough power to keep a generator on line and give him flight instruments to look at. sim visual data base has three low buildings at about 1 mile and we cleared those by maybe 10 feet ....don't know if those exist in the real world.
