pilot did a cracking job of getting it down specially over the area he was in.
Don't know the area but it does beg the question - what was he doing there? Isn't this what the alight clear rules are for?
Assuming he was there because he was on the approach, then he should hopefully have been aware of his fuel state after doing rejoin checks in which case he should have kept height, if he was not on the approach he should not have been that low over a built up area. It may be there are mitigating circumstances, but at present it looks rather like bad airmanship!!
