I agree with Scott Purdue in the above video, that the big question is: "Why wasn't the power cut when the airplane hit the approach lights?" The airplane was apparently at the point of stall when it hit the approach lights, was way below vmc and there was 9500 ft. of clear runway ahead of them. Did they try to go around? I posed that question in my post #182 of 09 Oct, 2019, titled, "Attempting to Go Around?" Why would they attempt a go around under these circumstances? I doubt we'll ever know the answer to that question.

Regards,
Grog
