Land.

I've had two situations in my career where we briefed, "Going missed is not really an option." Both were a combination of weather and fuel related. There is being legal, and there is being safe. Sometimes they are not synonymous. This is a great example of a professional pilot being able to make a tough decision to go around the rules to ensure the safety of the customers as the number one priority.

I'll even add, when you get on the ground, EVACUATE. I ain't hanging around in a burning airplane.
