Great - a few of my favourite things , boats , planes , & stupididty ! So he stops the middle engine as they have people near it - but why not feather the others to stop the plane moving forward ! Or at least run sib into the direction of current !

Very funny ( probabaly also very dangerous ) - nearly on a par with whale wars !

Whole thing was bleed'n dangerous. Cutting the engines would help. Those guys could have been trapped or snagged under the plane (their auto-lifejackets inflated).
