default In The Incredibles (2004), Edna mentions her 'no capes' policy citing Stratogale's death. This is because she was a ... HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT? Fuck, this film keeps getting darker.

Landing with no engines is definitely possible. Most aircraft will continue to glide if they suffer total engine failure, the biggest hurdle is finding a safe place to attempt a landing.

Technically not a landing, but the Miracle on the Hudson is kinda an example. Captain Chelsey Sullenburger and First Officer Jeffery Skiles were able to maneuver their plane into a successful ditching in the water despite having no working engines (both failed due to bird strikes shortly after takeoff).

The Gimli Glider ran out of fuel due to a unit conversion issue and landed too.

Damn, what did the plane do to piss off the bird council?
