King himself answered that question: you don't get in that situation in the first place and divert as soon as the generator goes out, while you still know where you are.

Flying for three hours hoping that the battery will hold charge (while there is an obvious problem with the electrical system), knowing what sort of weather is waiting for you, does mean pushing your luck.

Listening to their story was gripping though.
