There is a time and a place for sitting on your hands (multi crew jet/turboprop ops) minor system failures in piston aeroplanes etc. This wasn't one of them. Press the nearest airfield function of your GPS, pick the closest and most suitable airfield and go there quickly! This was what I am implying if you read into my post.
Yes and as I have said before, Something does not add up.

7000' over the North of Richmond you would think on one engine it would make it. However when did the second one start malfunctioning? If it was not long after Richmond even in fog flying the ILS, staying runway aligned, closing the throttle and flaring even in low to no vis beats the crash of yesterday.

Capt.mofo seems to think otherwise but a small accident on a large runway beats the suburbs every day.

Wwould need to see the METAR's, a radar trace and the whole radio chat to comment any further.

When ever I read these threads I always ask.........what would I do if faced with this.

We can't bring them back but we can learn.
