I'd still like to hear more about it from the inside and hear the rational for a G.A. rather than a landing. Perhaps we can learn from it. However, my first reaction sitting in a wounded a/c with a runway on from to me is to land it.
Depends on what stage of approach the engine failure occurs (above/below 1000'), IMC/VMC and if stable or non stable etc. If they felt they were not stable then they could not continue the approach. However nobody actually knows the facts yet except the flightcrew so it's entirely conceivable that they had already started a go around before the failure occurred etc.

Armchair theory though from us all until the report so lets just be delighted with a safe outcome.
