NUTLOOSE.
He didn't forget to put it down. He was taking off, and retracted the wheels when just off the ground, and then sank back onto the runway. Slid for well over half a mile, I believe. I am sure that I have seen another video of the whole incident,including it getting airborne, but not such good quality. Pretty sure it's the same mishap.
