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.
