Condolences
I'm not normally one to post in this type of thread unless I know the pilot involved, but listening to the radio replay from the flight I felt compelled to say that the way in which this pilot conducted himself in an extremely trying and dangerous situation was exemplary. Regardless of any speculation or implication, it is obvious this pilot was a true professional.
Sometimes it all just goes against you.
My condolences to all involved.
