On here as far as I am concerned but flown the 135 for 12plus years.  The cockpit would have been screaming at him to land.  In a fire there is ALWAYS a place to land even at a intersection Or school yard or parking lot or road.  I'm pretty sure he was over a street  He just decided wrong And consequences for this. im curious if he even pushed the fuel shut off on the number one engine or if it was a broken fuel line and it didn't matter. The point is we all know now what can happen if you don't land right away and an engine fire.

I remember a video many years ago in Los Angeles of a news helicopter that was shooting smoke all over the sky. Being filmed by another news helicopter. I think it was an oil line but even in downtown Los Angeles he landed in some ghetto parking lot safely.
