The problem here is that an whole bunch of people have never learned the most important lesson of life -- that you don't always get to do what you want to do, and that things will not always be the way you want them to be, and that you don't always get your own facts. It's hard to stop being assholes to people who insist on having everything their own way.
I read a book about it long ago, maybe this one. It painstakingly describes the crew's multiple failures of calculation which made the "Gimli Glider" happen. It's dramatic, and pathetic, as Hell.

The California Glory Hole is moistened once again, which isn't nearly as obscene as you'd think.
(Views up the other end are nonetheless kinda scary.)
The interesting part is the 400' thing... Interesting to learn there's a general rule about that.
