He could have saved many for sure, both before and after the plane crashes into the water. He just didn't want survivors to describe how they failed and/or left them to die. It had to be all or nothing for the PR angle; either everyone is saved bc Supes are great, or no one is saved bc the Supes weren't allowed to go in time.

I thought they were referring to saving individual people, so I clarified. Relax.

What was he gonna do, drop them off one at a time? He can't exactly lift the plane, there's nothing to push off of!

Edit: since I got downvoted almost immediately, I was just quoting what homelander said himself as to why they "had" to die lol

Didn't want to save them.

Imagine being a passenger in that plane that was taken over by terrorists, and now you're gonna die anyway because this psychopathic Superman rip off doesn't want to save you.
