Be sure to follow the link to Pinnacle Airlines Flight 3701. That's a double Darwin Award, well deserved.

    It takes a lot of gall to double down on your mistakes in a situation like that. These two should've been stripped of their license had they survived that stunt.

      It seemed like they were hoping the 2nd engine wasn't totally cashed. So they lied to the ground about having only 1 engine failure. I would imagine being alive is worth embarrassment but given the prestige of a pilot, I really can't say more than, bad choice.

  The one above it is also pretty dumb.
