  No. The published accident reports are clear; I link to the latest. The 777 came in normally on autoland. At about 600 feet, and two miles from touchdown, the autothrottle demanded more power, but after an initial increase in thrust, it dropped away. First Officer Coward, the pilot in command, advanced the thrust levers, but still nothing happened. In a heroic act of airmanship, he managed to glide the 777 over the airport perimeter fence despite the low altitude.

  The flight data recorder and other devices have shown that the pilots acted in every way correctly and saved 152 lives in the process by sheer flying skill. Some mechanical or other systems problem will have caused the loss of thrust, but it has not yet been found. Investigators are currently concentrating on the damage to the high pressure fuel pumps, attempting to see if that caused the problem. The manufacturer says the pumps should have worked even with the damage.

  I hope you all are sleeping well, with visions of sugarplums dancing in your heads. Im up, I got the night watch. And i got bad news for all of you. Expect the price of fuel at the pumps to go up a quarter, at least on monday morning.

  The talks between IRAN and the UNITED STATES broke down after less than an hour. These talks held yesterday, were what drove down the price of a barrel of crude by $15.00 this past week. Well, the talks are over. As a result, an attack on IRAN Is now imminant. Be guided accordingly.

  Electric motors are far, far, far more reliable than petrol ones thanks to having so few moving parts and no dependency on lubrication or cooling.
