 The NTSB believed that the pilots should have informed the flight attendants and crew to cushion themselves with blankets, coats and pillows, and not remove their shoes.The Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) data indicated at least two interruptions to power, one lasting 15 seconds and the other almost two minutes following the complete loss of engine thrust until the crew switched to backup battery power.The best chance for a (reasonably) safe landing would have been at Dobbins Air Force Base in Marietta, Georgia, but it is unclear why the crew did not attempt it due to the two-minute gap in CVR data.
