Reminds me of (the portrayal at least in the movie) the NTSB investigation in to the US Airways flight that landed in the Hudson. The board's claim, based on simulations, was that it would have been possible to make it to a nearby airport (Teterboro?) and land safely. But their simulations failed to take in to account the altitude lost while the crew determined what was going on and what course to take. A convenient miss in that each simulator pilot instantly made the turn after the bird strikes knowing full well what happened and where they were going to go.
