Richard is an unknown quantity at this point
I agree with you on some points. If it were me in his shoes. I would have picked a spot tried to land there. I'm thinking that he didn't see that it was populated with people from the air. Just giving him the benefit for the doubt. I think it's a natural reflex to try to save our own skins. However, I don't agree with sloppy workmanship. If you are flying your bird over populated areas (almost all of us fall into this catagory), it is your duty to make sure your plane is in top shape. I see a few corners cut here and there. There is no excuse for it. If you say flying is too much, well..... Let's see who's making it so expensive. I can think of only one group. The FAA. They make the insurance, and STC's so expensive that no one can afford to pay for it. Complain to them. Not to your A&P that is doing the best he can. Too bad though. I didn't think twin engine failures happened very often.
