Touchdown! Greaser!
no need to apologize for anything. I quoted exactly what I was rebutting....you said that absolutely no other plane could have survived without pulling the chute, and I clearly pointed out that, well, 50% of the planes in this incident alone survived without a chute. now you said single engine, but I don't think that makes a lick of difference in this particular case since the other plane's engines weren't impacted at all, but the point remains. "superior skills" or not, the only FACT that I was pointing out (I know how a certain subset of people these days think FACTS can be thought of asracisthazardous attitudes, but my point was you said no plane could survive without a chute, and I said at least one can, and did. wasn't really much to it until people get offended by facts.
You're putting words in my mouth, I was talking specifically to this incident, not all mid airs. I get back to my point about reading these comments, we interpret them through our own eyes and experiences and we all need to cut each other some slack sometimes. You were right to call me out, I should have said "probably would have been lost" which I think would have been more accurate, and we could have gone back and forth on that for a while. But I didn't hence my apology.
