If the aircraft were in distress and there was no one else even remotely qualified and willing to make an attempt to control the aircraft, I, a non pilot would at least make the attempt. Would I survive the attempt? Probably not and then again I wouldn't ever know unless I at least gave it a try. There could be all sorts of reasons why I couldn't successfully land a commercial aircraft including armed terrorist still active, but I believe that I would have a moral reason to at least make the attempt if possible lacking anyone else better qualified than myself. I am at least as intellegent and maybe more so as those ragheads that were able to accurately flew the aircraft into the twin towers were. Even the negative comments were interesting.

Because what I see is a survival guide for this particular scenario that entails good information that might actually help someone. The point that most of you have so haphazardly missed, is that this info is ment to get you on the ground in one piece. Perhaps by keeping the plane stable, which for the most part is kid stuff, and then guiding the plane down in such a way that it doesnt impload into a firery ball of death, you could save everyone on that plane, including yourself. And reach deep into your minds and try and think of the last time you read an artical about this particular survival situation. I guess the people that doubt this information usefull, or even just worthy of a read, would be the same people that would doubt their own selves and panic in this situation while I, at the least, try and land the damn thing.

Keep in mind to also deploy spoilers upon landing and reverse thrust...unless you want to run past the end of the runway into a ditch. Great article!
