They walked away and didn't do any damage with that landing.

Facts are she was high and fast. However you can't judge as to why or what they should have done better as you don't have all the facts. Where were they when the engine failed, how high? Have you had a look at the area surrounding the airfield? Doesn't look they had any other real options other than return, depending on many things you might choose a tailwind.

We actually did AOC work on a C172, from an airfield where there were no options in case of an engine failure. Only way to get the CAA to allow us to operate from there was by doing turnbacks, often having to take a tailwind on landing.
