Somewhere around half a mile down the runway there was a voice in the back of that guys head that said "this looks bad, I should abort." Next to that voice was a louder one that said something like "no, an abort would be really embarrassing, I promised these guys a ride". After they struggled into the air, the first voice said "this is not working, let's land in that clearing to the right." The second voice still over ruled. How many chances does a guy need?
