That's a disgraceful waste of a fine little aircraft, of considerable vintage - older than the idiot 'flying' it. Shame on him - I hope the authorities throw the book at him, fine him heavily and remove his licence.
Total nonsense suggesting there is nowhere to land - several good roads visible as well as small sections of open ground on which an aircraft of that type could easily be landed with minimal damage or personal risk. Clearly a planned bail out - no-one routinely flies wearing all that rig, with the door pre-opened. No attempt at all to look around for a suitable landing spot, straight into preparation for exit and yakking on a ruddy phone !
Plus, the risks associated with just abandoning your aircraft to crash anywhere, while small, are not inconsiderable - as pilot and owner you have a responsibility to others.
This is so much the bad side of the American throw way society, that someone can think it acceptable to simply throw way a fine vintage aircraft.
