It is a tragic situation. But I suppose all other decisions were correctly taken. Mainly on discovery of uncontrollabeility of fire a/c was turned towards nearest land mass/airport and descent to 10000ft was begun. After this really there is no option. Staying in burning a/c is not an option. You will ditch and hope for the best. Offcourse ditching will be done closure to any ship or land mass.You need lots of luck to come out of this.
