Speaking of Habscheim, I saw the Youtube video, and did not see anything that defies explanation. You've got an ac which got very low and slow and was sinking still. So how do you expect them to get it over the top if they got no momentum and even if they floored the gas which I did not hear happen it would take a while to turn this thing around. On an ac loaded to the max.

What I cannot believe is how someone would perform a tricky low-pass maneouver on an ac loaded with passengers, with 2 low-hour pilots, with a forrest growing right at the end of the runway. What happens if you don;t clear it? So stupid
