In fairness, he travelled towards the crowd mainly after hitting port wing first after bouncing; the actual original touchdown was much nearer parallel with the runway/crowdline, and with a fairly strong crosswind towards the crowd. The whole incident from engine failure to hitting the deck was a matter of few seconds, he could go straight ahead beyond the airfield with a following wind, or turn left or right to crash on the airfield. He was over or very near the runway centreline when the engine failed and with such wide separation between the runway and the crowd, there was just room to force-land. He finished about 50-60m from where I was standing and I didn't feel very threatened, as he hit the deck further away, quickly losing momentum.
