Maybe you got a point here. As long as those people knew the risks, I don't
see any reason to call them stupid. I wouldn't do that myself. It is not the
first time I heard about that kind of attempt. I have seen it before on
clip.

Look at this way: a fireman walk into a burning house in order to save the
house from burning down. Is it stupid? Let the house burn down?

Sorry, but I agree with Kyle. I'm glad it came out okay, but...

...those guys are dumber than a box o' rocks. A plane is nothing but a
tool, and it sure ain't worth risking lives to save -- and they put
several lives at risk with their silly stunt.

Belly the plane in, jack it up, fix it, and everyone walks away.

Nah, some things are worth doing just to see if you can do it. Your
statement could easily be said about sky diving, rock climbing or any of
myriad other activities. I'd give something like this a try in a heart
beat. If all of the participants are volunteers, then I add nothing wrong
with giving this a try. Sure, things may go awry, but that is life.

I wouldn't do this with kids in the airplane or anyone who didn't
understand and accept the risks, but if I wasn't risking the life of
anyone other than myself and other volunteers, then I see no issue.
