to paraphrase the british navy captain that ran a frigate aground "you hit a ferris wheel in the morning - you get a court martial in the afternoon".

HOWEVER, how unlucky can you get going around he would (should) have gone to the right of the runway whilst messing with flaps etc.. then a little drift inland.. then nose high not looking below in front ... then boom...

this should have been a foreseeable problem and an equal amount of blame has to lie with those that let the situation develop..

good luck to everyone involved
