And they ditched the aircraft at night no less.Expert Witness said:
I can't believe both pilots survived. They must be pretty freaking good at their jobs to have pulled that off.

"very survivable" in my mind doesn't match with "jet engine aircraft ditching in the pacific at night." Sure, it can happen, and did, but it's not exactly a 'sure thing, just follow the procedures.'

Weird that Boeing shares would fall when the plane was made in 1975.

The variables that would significantly complicate this in my opinion would be the difficulty of seeing the surface of the water at night combined with the swell size, which could potentially cause a break up during deceleration.

Sounds like they lost engine 1, and then the second due to overheating so it wasn't an instant loss on both.

Can somebody in aviation explain what exactly happens when a jet engine overheats?
Does it automatically shut down or is there an override in an emergency?
How common is an overheat situation?
