..then you have exotic compromises like crashing on ice, dead stick
landings in methane clouds downwind of broken pipelines, ripe full
hydrazine tanks as you ditch in freezing water... messy. ;o)

..needs at least FG-wide and per-model settings.

..maybe... a fire requires an oxidizer, e.g. air, oxygen,

beyond the ignition, and an ignition source, e.g. exhaust 
gas heat, hot engine parts or the shining Sun.

  Scenarios always come in sets of three: 
  best case, worst case, and just in case.
