Seeing the Lion B737-800 secured by 'ropes' reminds me of the Garuda B737-400 that landed in a river many years ago after both engines flamed out in IMC at altitude. All passengers survived this landing although a junior cabin crew member drowned after she opened a rear exit and jumped out. This a/c was also secured by ropes.
The latest rumour re Lion at DPS is fuel starvation !
