NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

NO!

Any forced landing holds out the slender chance of survival. Driving my car at 230 mph over fields is less likely to kill me than driving off a multi storey car park. Waiting 'til you lose control at low altitude will ALWAYS kill you. Turning towards Le Bourget (and the open fields) was always going to be a better option. And if he hadn't been overweight, with an aft cg, he might have made the runway.
