.....apparently a G/A is attempted (IAW Boeing manual re engine failure on approach option).
Boeing gives options and one of them is land ahead. If I understand correctly the decision to abandon the G/A was due to lack of response from the supposed 'live' engine. An excellent and much unheralded piece of aviating by the captain. Consider the result with a much less experienced captain who might have tried to continue the G/A not realising the imminent death of the 'live' engine and thus impacted outside the airport terrain. That would have been a very different type of 'event'.
Did said captain receive the keys to the city? He deserves them and any medals going. We all know of Sully, so why not this hero?
