Some interesting replies here, some kinder than others. Maybe we can just be grateful that unlike most accidents that are discussed on here, the pilot is remarkably alive and well to tell us what happened. If you have to make a split second decision when it all goes tits up, you are going to be grateful to be a position to make a press conference. Clearly still in shock and deeply concerned for his friend, maybe we should wonder how much sense we would make only days after surviving this incident.
