Can the Aircraft Make It Back to the Airport?

The computer simulator was able to run through countless scenarias in mere seconds. The simulation, it must be kept in mind, is only ever as good as the data fet into it. They may not be reacting like you did y after the birds strike - they are turning back for the airport just as in the computer sems. No one warned us that we were going to lose both engines at a lower altitude than any jet in history. This was duel engine loss at 28 hundred feet followed by an immediate water landing with 155 souls on board.
