Far better to take his chance on a runway which is clear of obstacles than attempting to take to the air with a more than likely stall/spin or an under control crash into trees.
I saw a Cessna push pull aircraft with gear problems land on its belly at Gloucester. The pilot did a perfect job burning off fuel and then cutting both engines at 30 feet before making a smooth belly landing onto the runway.
to advocate going around in this situation is complete madness and extremely bad airmanship on his part he was very very lucky to get away with it

Hi,
I cannot see from my post that I advocated anything, rather that I asked a question (the clue is the sign at the end of the sentence).
From the limited data available, i.e. the video who can say if he made the right call or not?
If he had crashed into a line of parked aircraft would the right decision still have been not to go around? (note the sign at the end of the sentence)
