According to this story, the pilots were awake and aware, and would have eventually started wondering where they were and why ATC hadn't talked to them yet. They would have been able to quickly figure out their actual location, and start talking to the appropriate people once they did. They would have then been directed to an airport in that area that could handle their plane. A worse outcome, certainly, but I don't see any risk to life here. Mike, you're responding to the Mx-Bloss troll, it makes you look like an ass. Stop. Nice try, forger. Trying to get Mark into a spin? **** off. Nothing here for me either. Further posts bearing my name are Jeffrey Bloss forgeries. He's also Gieselle. And a loser for life. == Mark |
