At 900 feet you don't really have a lot of time to be losing a little altitude. If the plane was fairly loaded, the rear engine didn't get feathered, as it was trying to be restarted rather than shut down. There was not much time or altitude to be able to attempt a restart. Maybe the front engine was not developing full power either but because of all the distractions with the rear engine and the front was still operating it was not noticeable. The choice to put it down was probably good while there was still control of some kind. The only hiccup might be that the gear was extended but on the other hand this may have been a blessing in disguise because now they are in a low wing the it may have floated a little longer. Hey, they all walked away. That's the most important part.

I say the report makes perfect sense. It may not be the best situation and decisions but the report makes sense.
