The fact that the airplane ended up past the end of the runway is
sufficient evidence that this landing was not a good idea. How much
more evidence does one need?


How about some facts, because now you look stupid. Pilots have
reported that the thrust reversers failed to deploy. That will be
easily verifiable with the black box. If they don't pop out 10,000
feet wouldn't have been enough runway in that weather.

Interesting...

Guess it proves you shouldn't trust non-flying eyewitnesses. I've yet
to see/hear one that didn't say "I heard the jet engines at full power"
just before the plane came through the fence.


That's interesting. Do you have any examples?
