Now.....Now HC.....the wee callow fellow does have a point.....not much...but a point.
They could have arrived with out their planned reserve fuel....or something akin to that.....but even then both engines would be happy as Clams as they would not know it until they did in fact get a sudden and complete injection of either air or sea water.
Is he reluctant to state he thinks they were short of fuel and thus were doing something in extremis to ensure they made visual contact with the surface so they would not have to do a Missed Approach?
If that is what he is saying....he should either say that or keep his musing to himself I would suggest.
How he would arrive at that view is a topic that I would dearly love to hear him explain.
That would beat CSI and Criminal Minds best episodes combined into one wouldn't it?
