How he didn't kill all on board I am not sure. He certainly had a good go at trying to.
Very disturbing video. The AoB that close to the ground, with equivalent engine failure...Well, I dunno if its a bad camera angle, but it gave me the chills. If I didn't know the outcome of the landing I would be waiting for wingtip to impact the ground and game over. Can't see the scenario or options from the pilots seat, but whatever was in front of him must have been certain death to prompt a maneuver like that. Not sure if it was skill or just sheer luck that didn't result in the deaths of everyone on board. Scary scary stuff.
