MAP limits change depending on the weather, and have to be worked out at the beggining of the flight, theyre not always 26", and he goes way over that in the video.
If you show me where in this video the MAP gauge read way over 26" I will admit I am wrong and go away.

If we assume it's a hot day and the variable MCP is 23.2 ", then add the extra 2.8" 5 minute rating, that gives up to 26" available for up to 5 minutes.
Since the whole flight was less then five minutes, that is not over the limit.
Also I never said I condone it either.

Although I concede now it did go over 100Kts, so yes that was beyond limits.
