This is only an emergency because it looks good on TV. A gear up is
not a life threatening event.


It would have been even less of a risk and done a lot less less damage
to the plane if he had retracted the gear and stopped the engines and
done a belly landing
.

Unless he had to go-around after feathering both engines.


Why would he want to go around after short final? Are you saying the
POH says land on on one wheel? Now apply some PIC skills. Which is
safer, a belly landing with engines off or the crash landing the pilot
made?

Cheers
