Why do they keep going... (Accidents)

[Tony Giantonio]

While we digest why these aviators bent the airplane and sustained some injuries in the process lets not forget the basic principles. When I flight instruct students in engine out procedures the first thing is to fly the airplane, and after all the checklist items have been completed declare an emergency. I don't know why aviators are affraid to say those words. I just hate to see good airplanes bent for the lack of a few words. Hopefully in the digesting of this accident review we may see what really did happened and all learn.
