So, what caused a highly reliable twin engine jet to turn into a glider? No problem.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) differentiates an accident from an incident by imposing a threshold of aircraft damage set at $1 million.

One important thing to understand is that there’s a displaced threshold on the runway, meaning that planes can only land around 1,700 feet (520 meters) beyond the point where they can take off. For that matter, did the Aeromexico pilots not see the Delta jet lined up on the runway they were landing on? Was it a brain fart?

Back in the early days of jet airliners, pilots long experienced in more forgiving two- and four-engine, piston-powered prop planes found themselves running out of airspeed, altitude, and ideas on the final approach to landing. Several of these unstabilized approaches resulted in major aircraft damage or worse. So, what happened?
