    If you ditch the fuselage even if the bottom of it on fire, it’s most likely on its way to a dunking in seawater in a couple of minutes while the tens of thousands of gallons of fuel carry on elsewhere. On paper it’s not a totally moronic idea, provided if and only if it can be carried out reliably somehow. (That’s the part I’m doubtful about.)
