Human life is priceless.

Airplanes can be repaired or replaced.

If you read the article, it says that the passenger that landed the plane was a WOMAN.

Glad it worked out. Planes can be replaced. Replace it with an M600 that can land itself.
Hope the pilot has a successful recovery.

HMMM. Covid vaccination side effect? There are so many of them showing up in young athletes and pilots (of all people).

Gary, you're spot over the target. But the Flying Lemmings keep 'downgrading' your matter-of-fact analysis. Bravo to you for speaking out.

History would prove you correct. It's disheartening that it takes 50+ years before the truth comes out.

No, it's a Piper 600.

technically, if gear is not extended and a landing is attempted, the gear is not there, it is in storage on the underside of the plane. The insurance examiner is going to call it a gear-up landing nevertheless.
