You, too, can land the plane safely on the Hudson River! (http://www.addictinggames.com/heroonthehudson.html)
Took me three tries.

Heh,
I fired up flight Simulator X over the weekend just try this out. Took off form La Guardia on an airbus and programmed a complete engine failure at about the time I would reach 3,000 feet.
Note to self: do not attempt to become a commercial airline pilot.

Got it in two.
Some programmer really doesn't know much about how airplanes work, though.

Well it's not like you can squeeze a flight sim into a flash app really.

Yes, but even for a flash app this behaves nothing like a real airplane.

Good to know I'm not the only one who jumped right on that. :D

Did you also attempt to land at Newark airport only to kill several hundred hobokenites? Hehe, actually I think I crash landed near my actual home. Glad THAT didn't happen for real!
