Now tell me that isn't the lamest thing you've ever seen? I landed a twisted up 747-400 with a touchdown rate of 71 fpm, and as soon as
the nose wheel touched the ground, flight sim just says :"CRASH"!!! AHHH you've got to be kidding me.


Another in flight emergency I had, was in a seperate 744, en route from Easter Island to Papeete, Tahiti. I planned enough fuel for
enroute + about 15,000-20,000 lbs extra fuel. Lost an engine a little over halfway in flight. Head winds coupled with a higher burn rate at a
lower altitude equaled a bad situation. I ended up landing in Papeete with around 10-15 minutes fuel on board. I was not relishing the
thought of ditching my brand new 744
