August 24th, 2001. A jumbo jet with no power or controls over the open ocean. 150 miles from the nearest airport! The laws of physics say landing is impossible. Certain doom?
It was a historic, miraculous episode which has many lessons about having a "Plan B" in BUSINESS for when things stop going according to plan...

Great article! Captivated me from beginning to end. I know of some small business owners who just make Plan A, cross their fingers and pray hard without considering making a back up plan. Your blog certainly hit the right nerve. Thanks!

Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked the article. It stemmed from a TV show we saw last night about the incident...it seemed natural to write the article. It is a captivating story.

The standard article might have been '5 Reasons to Have a Plan B In Business'. Ho hum.
Again, you have far surpassed that with real world examples, research that is evident you did and a style that makes it so enjoyable to read.
You are the future of the business blog - I'm just waiting for the others to take notice and catch up!
