successful ditching in the pacific this morning

Sure thing, but either way, she was 1000 miles from Hawaii. She certainly looked at all the factors, some of which we may not be aware of, and elected to continue.

Well, yes....if ETOPS means Engines Turning Or People Swimming.

Glad they are ok even if they are on a slow boat to China.

Well done! :laugh:

It's about 2200 miles to SFO and 2400 miles to LAX.

If nothing else, I'd continue SW bound towards Hawaii because the sea surface temp rises rapidly towards Hawaii. If I was contemplating the possibility of spending any time in the water at all, I'd find the warmest I could. A map of sea surface temps is here.

Jack from 24 was picked up and put on a Chinese boat on the last episode. I wonder if it is the same boat? Maybe the pilot can find Jack and solve what is going to happen before the next season.

... and make their escape by hijacking a helicopter from the ship and land again on the EMERGENCY RUNWAY at VNY!!!! That would be so realistic!!!
