I remember the United flight that crashed in Sioux City, IA more than a decade ago. Hundreds of lives were saved by flying skills of the pilots in a situation that no computer could have handled.

Most airline pilots would have tried to make Teterboro or turn back to LaGuardia....both fatal decisions.
