Too low, too close.

I fell sorry for the guy because if you go wrong for the first time it is hard to see how far you'd actually trespassed.

Hence the reason some on this forum advocate there's no such thing as a short landing technique. Learn to make your normal landing not long, and then for all accounts do operate on the low and tight side of the margin band.

That way you keep a room for errors, those guys did not. Thankfully it bit only them, not the passengers or the airframe.

Wrong intentions, and even the masterful get caught: https://www.military.com/video/milit.../1913142753001
