just read that a jamaican authority has said the plane landed 4000' down the runway with a tailwind of 17mph, quoting a tailwind limit of 16 mph...and that the plane bounced after first touchdown.

also that the pilot was using the HUD.

it will be interesting to find out if the HUD lead him astray...like those automobile GPS units that lead you down a dirt road to hell.
