Boy, that was a tough video to watch. I am not a pilot, by my GF's dad, who is a retired commercial pilot and current GA pilot, said:
"What the heck was she doing going into Hobby? Common sense says find a
less congested airport. They obviously had money, flying what they were in.
Money does not equate to skill! She should have popped the parachute right
over the field. It's the I'm in over my head answer in a plane like that. Sure
would have given Southwest fits."

Ellington field is 5 miles away. Longer runways and no commercial traffic. Which would make more sense?
