Don't be too hard on the guy - the Norwegian coastal strips are a very tough flying environment. Until you've done it, been faced with the decisions these guys have to make all day, every day, on twenty minute sectors, don't knock it.... Lousy weather, narrow fjords, strong winds off the arctic ocean, it is fun but its very unforgiving. This is real flying.
The whole reason the Norwegian government funded the construction of the STOL airports was to connect these tiny outports, with miniscule populations, to the real world. By subsidising the Wideroes operation they are able to deliver the Oslo newspapers to most of the coastal communities before noon - a very worthwhile objective when you think about the de-population which is a continuing fact of life in most countries with long coastlines, very small populations and dimishing opportunities for fishing jobs.
Nobody was hurt: Hallelujah! I bet the airplane will be back on line in a week, or so.
