I heard that expression on live television in 2008 which turned out to be a nonevent: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-american-miami/faulty-american-airlines-jet-lands-safely-in-miami-idUSN2237412020080222 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-american-miami/faulty... I happened to be in the USA and watching this on TV and they said this about the pilot, who had some ridiculous amounts of flight experience, if I remember correctly decades in the Air Force and then even more as a commercial pilot and they said if this happens, he is the best to happen to. He landed that plane, no problems.
