I'm sure he didn't plan on having an engine failure and when it happened, made a command decision and went with it unfortunatley not having the desired result.
Unfortunately...???

Anyone flying a marginal twin should ALWAYS expect an engine failure and plan accordingly. The only reasonable plan is to put it down straight ahead, unless you can gain enough height and/or airspeed to ensure control.

If you want to be PIC, you have to accept responsibility for the lives of your pax, and how your actions affect them. If you aren't prepared to do that in a court of law, don't take the job, or join a union - not that it will necessarily help you.

If you get paid to fly pax, you have a duty of care, simple as that.
