as opposed to a good citation crash?

Yes. A good Citation crash would be one where everyone walked away, even
if the aircraft was totaled.


Like the one at Bader Field in Atlantic City.

But... If you can walk away, it was a 'good landing'. If you can fly the
plane again, it's a 'great landing', so I guess that wouldn't qualify as
a
crash g

But where does riding a boat to shore or swimming away fit into the
landing
quality evaluation?


Fire prevention. Saves the cost and clean-up of foaming the runway.
