Wow, Timbo. Even if you were lucky enough to successfully pull off a "Sully," those polar routes are so remote, you're not getting any real search and rescue until way too late. Can't be a comfortable feeling if you allow yourself to think about it.

When I was flying KC135's in the military we would go on very long deployment flights, "up north". They would give us a .38 handgun, one, for the whole crew! It was supposed to be for self defence if we went down in 'unfriendly territory' (cold war era) but we all knew it was so we could kill ourselves, if we survived a crash landing in the artic or in the ocean!
There were 5 crew and 6 bullets...just in case you missed.
