"K" that's very well put yr last post, at the end of the day the whole event from the time they had no option but to ditch to the shambles of a report being filed in the round file it was destined to lead to nowhere.
The flight crew obviously didn't walk out the door that day/night thinking this is gunna end in tears but due to a variety of mistakes made by ALL concerned the end products (the people on board) where the ones that got effected.
Luck, divine intervention call it what ya like the outcome was favorable & so another human induced event fades into the annuls of our aviation history.
Like car accidents we have them daily where people lives are effected 4ever yet we continue to parade them out night after night on the TV & don't learn a damned thing!!!
We humans where never to good at learning from our mistakes we just keep inventing new ones !
