it s not like you see in the movie where the little trail of fire and smoke and then all of the sudden this t whole thing. you can get down to a very uncomfortable situation where it s very it s difficult. and this airplane can actually get down to the point where there is only a very limited amount of flight controls that are effective. but it is still a flyable airplane. even without the engines running. even without the engines running? engines. without them running, yes, correct. because there is a we have spoken this about this before. but there is a ram air turbine that actually drops down with the failure of both engines that runs some of the electrical and a limited amount of hydraulic system. i just want to make it clear on all of this, the 777 has now been around for two decades plus. there has only been two accidents, three i think in total accidents involving the 777. serious two fatalities. with fatalities three in all there is 1100 of them out there.
adjust. it wouldn t be easy. would you try to keep the plane at stall, in other words slow? at minimum speed as possible. yeah. the key would be set the tail down first and rest of the body to drop afterwards. you want to keep the wings level. if you don t, if you tip, you cart wheel. a cart wheel would be devastating and destructive. the problem is without fuel without the engines running, you get only one shot to do it. we have no way to know if that was attempted. we re demonstrating this airplane could have tried even if it was out of fuel. let s take it up then. that s a look at how a water landing might have happened. carol? not likely though, right? again stormy weather a big factor today. it was too dangerous for search and recovery operations. with me now, the senior captain at the institution of
