Yes, A JFK-CDG flight that ran out of fuel would, in all likelihood, end in a ditching. Having seen the footage of the Ethiopian ditching, I imagine a pilot would have to flare the airplane at touchdown a LOT more than did the Ethiopian pilot, touching down tailcone first, for the main part of the aircraft fuselage to not break-up. But I am speculating. At that point the lucky survivors would be in the chilly North Atlantic, hanging onto their seat cushions, for the 10 minutes it would take to succumb to hypothermia. This scenario replayed itself over and over in my mind most of the way to CDG.
