A comment on The Mercury website:
He's not a hero, he could have killed innocent children where he landed, he should have started the plane engine up again and landed at a designated airstrip instead of doing childish tricks to impress his family.Shame on you young man

Of course, it's all so obvious now - the pilot should have started the engine up again! And after he got the engine going again, he should have gone and landed at an airport. Why didn't he think to do that? What a silly pilot
