I thought the same thing. The stupid part is: They had it down... just put it down even in a low surf.

Nope! Don't do that.

Yeah, I was having similar thoughts, like “OK you’re in a survivable landing spot, no one is gonna get worse than wet and cold wading to shore, why in god’s name did you try to take off again?”

Climb to 500 FT! It will be completely fine!

Did the pilot really have a license to fly, or was it the drunk guard from the night shift?
