D,

But this wasn't a normal landing.
The 777 was reportedly circa 500 ft
when the pilot noticed that the engine wasn't responding to
greater power.

Reported by whom? How on earth would you know? Have you thought to
ask yourself why professional accident investigations tend to take
months, even years? We know exactly nothing about what you claim to
be fact. The AIB will issue an inital report in 48 hours. That will
be our first clue. An "airport worker talked to the pilot..."? Bah,
humbug!

My Q is that once it was known that power was off,

WE DO NOT KNOW THAT!


Sky News reported that as information it had from the Captain
himself.



Sky News is almost as full of **** as Fox.

Well it would be since it's owned by the same person.

Let me guess, they made it "Breaking news" for about 12 hours, right?

At least that long!

Yesterday morning, this discussion thread was already running; and, at
dinner time, at least one of the "all news" television channels was
still running the same crap over and over as a "developing story."



I get to see it all the time in Europe. Often it's the only english
language channel. That and CNN.If I'm stuck in my hotel room ( because I
have no money and am afraid of getting picked up for vagrancy) i get to
see hurricanes inch themselves across the carribean hourly...
