Brilliant article, and you were right, I was entirely unaware of this, though I knew of 191.

This one’s particularly frustrating. The pilots did absolutely the best they could and almost made it. Thinking through a completely unfamiliar problem and coming up with the correct solution in just six seconds is nothing short of brilliant — just not brilliant enough.

Two seconds… if they’d just had a little more information they might have come to the answer two seconds earlier and survived…
