STB -Thanks for the link. Looks “Power On” Crab are you able to confirm?
DB - you can see the rate of rotation slow at about 300' whuich is when he speed selected the engines to idle - he said the most difficult thing was judging at what height to cushion the touchdown, he said he did it a bit too high - I think he did a pretty good job since most on board survived but it was unfortunate that it went in slightly backwards with about a 25g impact.

Stagger -
It was a dark, cold evening - you won't find too many insects flying around in these conditions.
except around hot, bright stadium lights......
