Timely reminder to all pilots that lift = weight and the critical component in calculating lift is the V bit. You can't ever rule out mistakes (pilot error) or design for every occurrence (tombstone technology). As SLF I don't want to end up charcoaled at the end of the runway because some pilot was lazy or had a bad day. What is happening to the checking and cross checking that is meant to happen in a cockpit? It seems to be a missing ingredient in this incident.
