Notsofantastic,
Err, obviously not, that's why I asked the question. I've noticed you seem to stalk the threads looking for uppity PPLs (or even worse, pax!) to monster, so keep up the good work. Arrogance is an admirable trait.
To the other posters, thanks for the replies. My query came from watching a reconstruction on the Discovery channel. Because it was aimed at the general public it was a bit low on aviation detail, but did mange to convey the sheer brilliance of the crew in effectively saving the lives of a couple of hundred people.
