Huh! He did in his hole make the correct decision! I know the field he flew out of,also. His fully-loaded takeoff was probably close to limits,he smacks a tree and instead of landing back in or diverting to Shannon, he decides to fly a very long leg over water, not to mention entering someone else's airspace with a damaged aircraft. Did he for one second, think about the passengers' safety?
what was that one about the bag of luck and the bag of experience again?
