im hooked on that show Mayday that plays on discovery (in canada at least..not sure about the us). After seing all their episodes, it seems like it takes quite a lot before a plane crashes. Ive seen portions of planes ripped off, or a plane gliding, no engines/gas, for 20 minutes and land safely (the air transat flight). Even when a plane was hit in the wing with a missile, they were able to control it just with the thrust so they could line it up with the runway and land it. Its pretty amazing what the pilots can pull off under all that pressure with little going for them.
