Obviously the crew had that bit of common sense to pick, on the ground anywhere, rather than try to find somewhere better, and end up another bunch of guys that pushed on and killed themselves. I guess that they got to that, oh $hit situation, saw a landing spot, put it down reassessed, oh well that's us done boys, shut it down we are walking from here.
I was told when training, it's better to be on the ground wishing you were flying, then in the air wishing you were on the ground...
