The response of the young lady to "Are you ever going to fly again?"... Yeah.
That's a keeper.
Um, that was not a 'landing' by any stretch. It was a crash. Note the four point(three actually, with dual shoulder belt) aftermarket harnesses in the old 175. Almost surely saved serious injury, or fatality. I doubt there was close to enough rudder authority to overcome the pitching moment of the small tires into the snow.
Did anyone notice no flaps. I would want to be going as slow as possible in an emergency landing. Is there something wrong with my thinking?
I wonder why he ignored the roads he was flying over? I learned in a very rural area and dead-sticked a 172 onto multiple roads during training.
So, in our Monday morning quarterbacking best - is there anything that could have been done to prevent the crash?

Random, You did mean elevator, instead of rudder, to overcome the pitching moment?
Just wondering.
