Both pilots' duty (as safe pilots) was to land at the closest
available site.

While the safety aspects of this incident are interesting to us all, I
respectfully suggest that this line of discussion be closed down (at least for
now). Do you really want to multiply the problems of the pilots involved?

I know both of them, though not very well, and so far I don't see
anything that will cause them problems; in fact, I think some of the
discussion might help them make better choices in the future.

What problems do you think these discussions cause the pilots involved?
