But no instead of doing a forced landing before the engine failed they had to try and make some tarmac and ended up killing the airframe.

Waldo Lardburger realises that having forgotten to put enough fuel in his "airplane", the engine is about to stop. Ripping out a Big Mac-flavoured belch, he puts down his half-gallon diet coke and reviews the situation. In front of him the glass-cockpit stares back - the GPS a riot of green. With a yawn, Waldo thinks "Fuggit, too hard man...!" and reaches for his Coke and the Ballistic Deploy lever. He settles back in his seat mumbling "Brakes, undercarriage, mixture,...yeah, yeah, yeah..whatever dude..."

The preceding does not necessarily represent the possible findings of an inquiry into the incident...
