    The similarity is involving people in the act and leaving them to deal with extreme trauma.

        This is the hill we’re choosing? Really?

        It’s a shitty thing to do to someone else, full stop.

        According to other people in this thread, she had at least enough flight experience that she should be able to land solo. So, the risk to her was from the trauma he inflicted, if it impeded her ability to land safely. Explaining it here actually makes it seem even more similar to the truck driver. It’s entirely possible that if you hit a person with a truck, you’d freeze up or your mind would blank or you’d otherwise be unable to control yourself well and cause further accidents before you could stop safely.
