Its always best wishing you were flying than wishing you were not.
If in doubt, divert or land in a field

Begs the question what would you have done in the left seat in that situation considering the remaining fuel?

I don't think you have any choice....
I would divert. There agin. I'd have taken enough fuel and had a diversion airfield planned. If that WAS the diversion airfield then it would be a forced landing into a field. Hopefully the field would be the airfield, but I wouldn't be holding out for that....
What is the METAR\TAF code for a twister anyway ?

What was the outcome of this.........?
I guess it depends whether the 'Final' in the title refers to the occupants of the aeroplane, the aeroplane or both.
Sobering video: I assume it's genuine.

In order to try and learn from others' mistakes ... what would you say was the main reason(s) for the stall/dip at the end .. apart from an obvious high work-load due to crap weather?
Is it possible that a few knots of higher airspeed could have overcome this and that the pilot possibly didn't pay enough attention to the ASI?
Not pointing fingers at mistakes made (if any), just trying to learn.

Would it not be a bit of a coincidence for an aircraft that just happened to be in dire weather and ending up with a crash to have one camera on the tail, looking forward, another inside looking at the pilot, and a third looking forward at the runway? Plus one in the Control tower? Handy for the investigators from NTSB, anyway.
If set up to simulate it, how did they fix the weather for filming?

I think +FC would be tornado
The audio for the ATC is taken from a recording of Continental airlines flight (not a Cessna) but apart from that it's good.

If it was me I think i would have held off in clear air close to the airport, taken regular wind updates from ATC and kept an eye on the cloud mass movement and rain shafts.
The film was a good production made to demonstrate a situation and cut just before landing or going around to hint at a subsequent crash.

Not wishing to detract from the core safety message, but..
The editor has spliced together shots taken from the tail of a Cessna (182 I think) with cockpit video from a not Cessna. I think it might be an Aeroprakt Foxbat. Either could run out of fuel as suggested by the images though.
I learn't my lesson in the 90s flying between cells on a summers day and actually hearing the crack of lightning as it passed me canopy. ILAFFT.

Clue; the 177 doesn't have struts.

Incorrect, they say "Cardinal" as in Cessna 177 not Continental.

I have seen this before. I made the same decision and landed and (luckily)saved myself and the poor soul sat beside me.
I will not do so again. If fuel is available, divert or hold. Summer storms are gone quickly. "get home itus" is a bad syndrome that accompanies poor weather. The worse the weather, the stronger the desire to be on the ground.
Fight this with common sense and fuel management.
Clear skies and strong tailwinds.
