Do whatever you have to do to handle your situation, and worry about talking on the radio last because in an emergency, your first priority is fly the plane. You can talk on the radio after you land.
This is what I thought exactly. If you are trying to save your ass why would you be on the radio, they were already at a low alt and didn't have time nor anyone to do it for him. If you are careening out of control in you car you do not get on the phone to call somebody. GFY Experts on Everything hard at work...
