Horatio, Touche' however I defy you to find the " wreck "

I was told ( by a guy who's had a GFPT for 15 years ) that the nearest suitable is 1.5 hrs away, so thats 1 approach and then off to Noumea, sounds fairly simple, maybe I missed something

Will be interesting to see if the toothless Tiger, called CASA, bow to media pressure and let this guy ( and Pelair ) off the hook, and not ban him for life like they should.
The comparisons being drawn between this and the Hudson river are at best, one guy was faced with the sudden loss of all thrust with absolutely no warning, the other deliberately ran out of fuel after several hours of flight, please explain to me the similarities ( OK, other than both A/C ending up in the drink )
