We are, of course, taking about the BA 747 many years ago that was flown over the Pole to LHR with one engine not operating after a failure/shutdown (?) shortly after take-off from LAX.
Predictably, on arrival in UK airspace a fuel emergency was declared and the aircraft diverted to Manchester, I think it was, landing dangerously short of fuel.
The subsequent discussion raged on between those whose life experience says that when you go through the first hole in the cheese you don't deliberately aim for the second hole, meaning that in this case you would land as soon as safely possible and practicable, and those whose faith in statistics has yet to be shattered by real life Gremlins.
I wonder why the OP has brought it up again?
