I am very happy that everybody escaped with their lives after this crash (this wasn't an accident). But...

...and landed on the remaining runway very safely...
And let me be very clear - that is called luck! To assess that the wing would have burnt off (because of a bang, a few screams in the cabin and possibility that the No. 1 told you that there was an engine fire) and that from 60-100 ft above the runway at 11:30pm that there would be enough room to land is something only worthy of a someone who believes in Intelligent Design and Creationism.

I have also learnt a great deal from that bloke as well.
