news:Iu9Wf.5335 Uh oh. If my yacht's single motor dies, I don't fall out
of the sky and die.
If I'm trying to deal with insanely nasty weather, maneuvering around
big waves, it **may** be a problem. But, if a plane's single engine
dies, so do the occupants, unless they're still on the ground.

Your logic is flawed?


How is it flawed? Be sure to go back a few messages so you're clear on
what RCE responded to.

I'm sorry. I thought your statement was meant to stand on it's own. What am
I missing?
You can't depend on a boat without power to be able to be steered to a soft
landing on a sandy beach. On the other hand a powerless plane can still be
controlled in many cases.
