Your have a valid point.
That being said....the answer might remain rather hard to pin down.
It is along the lines of "Did Grandma fall and break her Femur....or did she break her Femur and fall?".
Did that 50 Second period of time include realizing there there was a problem, analyzing the problem, arriving at a decision as to exactly what the problem was.....then deciding what course of action to take (remembering the Patient was onboard and thus affecting the decision on what to do) then considering the Options and deciding which one to choose.
Everyone survived what very well could have been a fatal crash.
I suggest the Pilot did an excellent job and deserves recognition for that.
No one is perfect....what matters is the end result where the Crew and Passengers stay with us.
The aircraft can be replaced.....unlike the people inside the thing.
Well Done! That Man!
