”One passenger told Good Morning America on Monday morning that the pilot took "some pretty heroic decisive action" in turning the plane around. She said the pilot "potentially saved some lives."”

According to this article I'd say the pilot was quite reckless....

Quote: "The plane did a loop before returning to the Colorado airport".

It would be nice if they used people that knew something about airplanes when writing these articles.
