Not a chance, Flash. Not a chance.

 

Human pilots are STILL better at figuring out incredibly creative ways to get crippled airplanes back on the ground, frequently with everyone still alive and healthy.

 

The DC-10 that basically lost its tail feathers when the tail-mounted engine blew is an example. Quite a few people died in that one, but a lot more lived. That one was darned near a flat-out miracle.

 

Sully's dead-stick water landing comes to mind. Ditto the Gimli Glider. There was a similar case, of a crew who dead-sticked a 737 safely down onto a levee a few years ago.
