Qantas:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qantas_Flight_32Serendipitously, there were
5 experienced pilots available on the flight deck. This enabled both sensible on-board discussion of options and useful task division while handling pilot continued handling..
Since both normal flight indicators and plethora of warning messages were very difficult to interpret (at all, let alone while also manual handling), more human eyes and cerebella on the spot (ie, not datalinked with inevitable latency and possible datalink overload) were clearly helpful. It would (in my likely to be obsolete technical opinion
.. happy to be crrected, as ever) be challenging for on-board or 'remote' AI to be designed to anticipate and manage similar scenarios, including consequences of what started as only ".."fatigue cracking" in a stub pipe within the engine.."
