Good luck with that.
And no, you don't know the whole story, obviously.
AA 2 was a 767-200 coming from LAX.
After a review, those guys got time off without pay.
They were not on fire, they simply could not accept the runway as is- that is not an emergency situation no matter how you try to skew it.
Think about the multitude of other aircraft landing on 22- I'd be willing to bet a few of those were 767s and 757s as well... why did they not conduct themselves in a similar manner, or did AA 2 get fixated?
