Do not know how this is getting on this thread.
One crew knew they had a problem and did their best ( up to/ me, I would have tried to land ASAP and screw the dumping then take chances skidding off other end of the runway.) Other crew could not comprehend that the jet would fail to protect them. At the end, one dude said they were trying to climb and the plane was not responding. Duh.......
Many of us on this forum have had bad things happen to our jets. The big lesson is to know as much as you can about the plane and do not do something stoopid. The poor folks on the Swiss jet did not appreciate how bad and how fast the electrical fire would proceed.
The one crash that touches my soul is the ValueJet prang. Sheesh. Control cables burning out, fumes in cockpit and pax cabin, and ....... Oh well.
