First abort point was at 0:40.
Second was at 0:57 when the plane touched back down.
Either of those would have resulted in no damage or injuries.
Third was at 1:27. When you're passing the end of a 5000ft runway and still essentially in ground effect, there's a problem. He had another mile of meadow where he could have put it down, possibly with damage, but avoiding the treeline ahead.
Hope is not a plan.
I know this sounds rough, but I spent 15 years in law enforcement where the ability to recognize when the plan isn't working is a survival skill utilized multiple times a day.
