My favourite bits from the news article:

The 20 minute flight to Weipa was one of those movie moments, where I, and my fellow passengers, were faced with our own mortality and had the time to consider all the things we have, and haven’t done, with our lives.
However, with only one engine with which to decelerate with, the plane slowed so dramatically that my book on the seat next to me went flying forward.
I was relieved, as we slowed to a roll, to think that I was, indeed, going to live another day and have the opportunity to write this story for the Torres News.
The drama was not over yet, however, as we tried to turn off the runway towards the terminal.
