Interesting little Vid & under the circumstances a job well executed

A good reminder to all those out there flying SE at Low Alt (You JABBA). I wouldn't be trying to hard to restart the machine at that low Alt, the guy knew his priorities & stuck to them. Try a few basic re-start items if time permits once yr heading to a safe Ldg area otherwise consider that engine of no further use.
Many a plane has stalled/crashed due the pilot getting sidetracked trying to restart the donk whilst at a low Alt.
If I recall a Dove (DH104) out of EN a million years ago that went in just Sth of the drome, the pilot was continually trying to restart the failed donk after T/Off & 4got to retract the flaps after the donk failure ( I believe that was the story but could be incorrect), nasty outcome.
