aluminum and maxred
BOTH of you have used the word stupid regarding my question.
Aluminum, you mention luck about avoiding the cliff.
FIRST I ask moderators to evaluate your post for possible removal (not banning though).
Second, Aluminum, how much luck was involved in not killing more people at San Francisco? Asiana basically hit the seawall or so close to it as to rip the gear off or destroy the gear. A seawall in my view is about the same as a cliff.
IF a UNITED AIRLINES (USA) 777 had crashed in the same way at KSFO as Asiana did, I would offer the identical criticism and so would every pilot here.
Contrary to your PIers Morgan like attitude, the nationality of the pilots does not matter. Airplanes don't care where you were born in order to fly them well, but the keyword is WELL.
