In my humble opinion while the outcome was successful, an incident like this, or any other for that matter, should be a learning opportunity and not made into a epic hero story or otherwise. There were two outcomes possible; one favourable and the other catastrophic. It does seem at this juncture that at the point the Captain made his decision, either stopping or going would have been favourable as basic physics would demonstrate. However, should the decision to 'GO' or 'STOP' have been delayed, then the trajectory of these outcomes looks very much different. That is, STOPPING would result in loss of fewer lives simply based on the speed of possible impact. I'm sure none of this is lost on anyone. But again, let's learn from this and NOT REWARD/PUNISH pilots for this decision. It could possibly bias decisions in the wrong direction if it ever happened again.
