I know we should always keep in mind a possibility of failure, but where do we draw a line? Safest bet is to not fly at all.
I was taught to look for 3 things in forced landing:
- people on the ground
- people in your aricraft
- aircraft.
That pilot did just that.

The safety of the passengers and crew is the first priority - he ended up crashing into the sea, something they were very lucky to survive.

Sometimes the wise choice is not to fly - it's not a God-given right to aviate, it is a privilege.
