The dispatcher asked if he tried the emergency brakes, to which Cooper responded, “Madam, I’m not going to do that at 100mph, I’m sorry.”

At about 100mph(more than 160km/hr), the dispatcher asks for use if emergency brakes?
That dispatcher is either joking or testing the mentality of the driver or stupid.

Funny suggestion from the dispatcher.

No matter how bad the idea is I will look for a straight road section, kill the engine and hang onto the steering for dear life. If the vehicle begins to slip I re-engage the engine to power the hydraulics. The speed should be down by then for one to think straight. The time spent in dialing emergency can be costly.

You lose hydraulic power. The brakes system stiffens and the road takes charge. Only the park brakes work and then they have to be applied sensibly if they are manual.

ahh Oga gazzuz, you of all people should remember that turning off the car would mean locking the steering and on the highway that's a dangerous thing to do.

if fuel finish and engine off steering no dey lock! Shut down engine and locking ignition are different things. Check your Key hole you will see it is marked likely LOCK>OFF>ON>ACC>START.
It requires a very cool head under such pressure to do this delicately and succesfuly without locking his steering. Most cars could have gone into neutral by the way and allow to slowly come to a stop.
