Yah what are they supposed to do fly around until the fuel runs out. My guess is coming from Allentown to PHL they dont have a tonne of fuel to play with.
Dont call these guys the dumbest pilots ever because you werent there, you dont know the full story or what was going on in the cockpit. It's never smart to criticize people after they deal with a possible emergency. Main parts of the story were the aircraft had minor damage and nobody was hurt.
What else did you wanna have happen??
