Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln...

If my yacht's single motor dies, I don't fall out of the sky and die. If I'm trying to deal with insanely nasty weather, maneuvering around big waves, it **may** be a problem. But, if a plane's single engine dies, so do the occupants, unless they're still on the ground. Your logic is flawed? How is it flawed? Be sure to go back a few messages so you're clear on what RCE responded to. I'm sorry. I thought your statement was meant to stand on it's own. What am I missing? You can't depend on a boat without power to be able to be steered to a soft landing on a sandy beach. On the other hand a powerless plane can still be controlled in many cases. Jim We're talking about probability here, Jim. I see crippled boats towed into the bay here all the time. I do not see ambulances waiting for the occupants. You are right - if you're in hideous seas and you lose power, you may be in deep ****. And, it *is* possible to land a crippled plane safely, but the word "possible" is far from the word "likely". Now you are being more reasonable. Jim |
