Already admitted that, but let me ask you a question. Is it better to try and stretch it to get back to the airport, and arrive with only just enough energy left to stall it on to the ground - having been very fortunate to avoid cartwheeling and possibly a stall/spin; or would it be better to recognise that you couldn't get back to the airport safely and put it down somewhere less convenient?
Sully (Hudson River A320 guy) made a far better decision. The Bankstown guy was just very lucky.
You admit you have no idea but you're still making assumptions?
