What I'm about to ask is a very difficult question, and ostensibly insensitive, but it's meant at a philosophical level rather than making any judgement on the specifics of this tragic event.

One sees in front of you a scenario which can only result in a huge loss of life. Do you eject?

This one was put to me in the pub last night, not in a nasty way, more as conversational soul searching.

Some things are easy to figure for most people - say where it's an either-or choice of who's life you jeopardize, say in an EFATO, but this is more complex.

After a good deal of thinking, I do now know what I'd do.
