Doesn't matter how nice a guy he is the fact is that the aircraft was out of control in a critical phase of flight.
Yes, imagine no change to the situation EXCEPT the aircraft had had an accident and crashed on the runway.

What would be:

The view of the CAA;
The view of the airline;
The view of the travelling public?

This is the risk.

I'm sure the Captain is a great guy and an experienced and competent pilot.

However the risk doesn't change because of the outcome.

The risk is there for every member of the crew and all passengers every time he flies - because nothing has changed to alleviate the risk that caused this incident.
