The NZ DC-10 flew straight into Mt Erebus due to incorrectly inputted navigational information... it was irrelevant that it was a remote area really...given there were no survivors of the crash. The ETOPS system seems to cover the risks nicely IMO... And...in extremis large aircraft have been landed without loss of life on runways not really suitable for aircraft typer...or even no runways at all!
