Talking That's comedy gold

From the transcripts:

Q. Can you tell us what happened as the debrief after
that particular incident?
A. Once we had landed and shut down, MAJ 4 obviously made
notice to the crew that that was not what he intended. He
apologised, debriefed the crew on how it should have been
conducted, and we handed the aircraft over to maintenance
and further accident investigation team findings.
and this:


Q. Referring to the incident in East Timor, you said that
the captain debriefed the crew that that was not what he
intended. Am I to take from that that it wasn't a
controlled landing?
A. Obviously, it wasn't a controlled landing, sir,
because it resulted in a hard landing.
Q. Am I to interpret that the aircraft actually crash
landed?
A. No, it conducted a hard landing. My reference to a
crash landing would be something that has written the
aircraft off and it's no longer serviceable for future use.
Q. My understanding from that is that the aircraft is
actually category 4, which is only one category off
write-off. Is that the case?
A. Yes.
