You shouldn't have to take it to the safety officer, unless after you point out that there are people "over there" the pilot doesn't either land, or fly over a completely different section. Everyone else is dead on. The pilot should have stayed down, or flown over somewhere else. A regular Joe would have helped look for the plane anyway.... Been there..

At least you thought about it, now you know. Sometimes it takes one or two people to recognize a situation and speak up before some people get their heads on straight.
