If commercial airplanes can glide an average of 100 miles, how come crashes usually always kill everyone inside?

@Knightsairsoftteam didnt everyone on flight 1549 survive? the plane lost all power and the captain was able to GLIDE the plane to a safe landing spot. what crashes are you talking about in specific? if you're talking about something you saw on the news, the news only shows the extreme things. a pilot loses both engines and flies and lands.... thats boring to them.

Really ... ? Because on all the jets i flew (BAe-146, DC-8-73/63/57, L-1011 and B747-400) we planned all descents at flight idle, and obtained a 'glide' of 1 nm forward for every 3,000' of altitude lost - that's a glide ratio of about 2:1.

In recent years, the increase in traffic has made sustaining this 'glide' difficult due congestion, but even in the 1990s, we were frequently able to delay power up on the approach until 1,500 AAL, after landing checks were complete.
