The decision, after realizing the mistake, to bail out and go back to square 1, was the correct one. Doubling down and assuming someone down the line will have a solution, forcing them to improvise on the spot with unforeseen consequences, is how accidents happen.
Sadly, the sane voices seem to be a minority in this thread ...
The irony is that those who are loudly spouting all their 'improvised solutions' (backing with reversers, get the passengers to push it back, etc. ) would also be the first ones on here proclaiming what idiots they have in Chattanooga for trying some improvised solution after the aircraft end up broken and/or someone gets hurt (or worse). The Boeing flightline has a nearly endless list of processes and procedures to keep workers and aircraft safe, yet accidents still happen, aircraft still get damaged, and workers still get hurt - sometimes badly.
Commercial aviation today is incredibly safe, due to hundreds of lessons learned over the last century. We dismiss or ignore those lessons at our peril.
