Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash.

If you screw up just this much, you'll be flying a cargo plane full of rubber dogshit out of Hong Kong. Are we clear?

So, really Crash, if a Pilot is losing control of an aircraft, you're cool with him ditching it right into your house? Your entire family up in flames without this guy at least riding it all the way to the ground to try and avoid more deaths?

I'm not.

In yesterday's crash, it sounds as though the pilots tried to do everything they could (fuel dump) and that they actually lost an engine. Plane was stalling and ditching the aircraft someplace safe was not an option.

At the same time, I'm sure they were thinking they should try and stay with the aircraft until the end. That's why the pilots were so apologetic when approached in their chutes. From the damage they saw, I'm sure they envisioned many, many dead.
