Try try and try again?

It would be interesting to hear whether they reached past the grass on the
first attempt, or after a few tries.

Given the available energy, I find it hard to believe a crew being able to
make it to the concrete. However, details of how different strategies played
out might be interesting. I don't remember reading such a post.

If they set up the sim just to try BA038, then they were in a much better
position than the real crew: they knew the exact problem to expect, had
seen the true outcome, and no lives were on the line. A true test would be to
spring BA038 rollback on crews when their configuration and energy
matched in the simulator, and see how they did first time, building up
data slowly.

For what my view's worth: getting BA038 over the fence, stopped
and evacuated with only a single serious injury onboard and none on the
ground - for real - deserves much respect.
