... I wonder if this was inspiration for Flight Simulator X's mission, Limited Options. [1] That one was flown on a 737-800, but...
"When the plane suffers a fuel leak causing the engines to fail at 35,000 feet, you must decide whether to glide to Malé or Hanimadhoo Island to save 150 passengers from drowning in the Indian Ocean."
Definitely a challenging flight under the simulator, total balls of steel to the pilots to pull it off for real.
