Seems as if it would cruise along at altitude until it ran out of fuel, and then drop like a rock? Like Leaky says .... it was pure luck.... a plane heading into the NE corridor of the US in similar circumstances would probably be extremely lucky to avoid population centers. It would be a tough call .... but probably the better of "no good options" imo.
