This link is for one part of decision, makes for some interesting reading

It seems that the judges main gripe was the pilots decision to turn back to the runway. The decision to turn seemed to be ok - but the judge thought that th pilot should have stopped the turn to parallel the power lines he was concerned with clearing, and continued in a straight line to maximise performance.

Raises some important issues for all pilots!
