Well, so does the DC-8 right? The reserve or reservoir is the fluid below the standpipe; and it was possible to lose it all if you weren't fast enough on the panel. But hey, at least you still had a few miles of cable! We could go on all day about what is NOT in any report; and argue to days end about what of those is factual or not. The point is the NTSB publish the final report, not the FAA, the facts of which we can choose to believe or not. Oh, and didn't losingtwo leading edge devices contribute to the left wing stalling, falling, and rolling that way? Or maybe that was not one of the facts, I don't know.

Are you saying the NTSB is responsible forthe following:
NTSB Responsibilities
Transportation Security
NTSB Investigative Process - Investigations Involving Criminal Activity
Transportation Security Administration (Department of Homeland Security)
Air Travel - Prohibited Items
Information for Travelers and Consumers
Employment
Industry Partners
Law and Policy
Department of Transportation
Transport Security Info

And the FAA the following:
Federal Aviation Administration
Office of Security & Hazardous Materials

If so, I respectfully disagree. Also, it is well recognized now that Flight 191 could have been recoverable, but, to say that 191 was in factrecoverable one would need to know exactly what was happening inside the cockpit in the final moments before the words "Oh f**&" were uttered. To say that it NEVER would have happened is to say EXACTLY why and how it happened; and that has the makings of a great conspiracy novel which I'll buy, when it's written.
As for RCers and twins, can't argue with that; except that if you recognize the failing/failed engine quick enough and reduce power adequately )or at least lower the nose)you also reduce Vmc, etc. (and regain control authority). As for believing government "Official Reports", well, what would you propose that one reads and believes (with respect to the subject at hand)? Please don't say the "Enquirer"!
