This accident of navigation that resulted in a ditching in the Sahara would make for a fantastic movie.

I wonder if the 1965 film and earlier novel 'Flight of the Phoenix' might have been partly inspired by this. Apparently it bombed at the box office but became something of a cult movie.
Not sure the details of the failed navigation would have much popular appeal outside of navlist. :-)
