When I first read GMAS's article, I was reminded of an incident that happened when I was living in Las Vegas, many years ago. A fighter took off from Nellis, and had an engine failure shortly after takeoff. The plane was over or near North Las Vegas, which at that time was mostly residential. The pilot rode it in, and put the plane between 2 houses, ended up on the street. No casualties on the ground. If he had ejected, the results may not have been as good for the people on the ground.
We have a responsibility to maintain our aircraft, but if thing really take a dump, we also have a responsibility to not involve others in our tragedy.
