So, nothing on this scale, but the same difficulty in changing momentum on cargo ships.
MANY years ago, in my dad's crappy boat on the Delaware, first trip of the year. It was a water/water cooling system, a hose on the fresh side split and dumped all the coolant. Dead in the water. Tide going out, so it pulls boats into the channel.
And there's a cargo ship bearing down on us. My brother grabbed the paddle, but couldn't really make any progress. I managed to cut of the split and reconnect the hose, put my T shirt over the filler neck for a filter, used dad's hat to dump river water into the radiator. We were just about at the abandon ship call, the cargo ship was blowing a horn by then when I had filled just enough water to get the engine started back up and get out of there.
I'm sure that pilot thought he was drowning a few people that day.
