Question

Firstly I appologise if this may be covered in the other thread but, if ....." The Commander can do whatever he likes to ensure the safety of his aircraft and passengers". in the above cases both captains wanted to evacuate the A/C, why didn't they? I believe the police/army ordered them not to, but the police/army are not the legal commanders of the a/c. As the commander is reponsible for the a/c and all it's occupants, I fail to see how they could order them not to evacuate.
