I saw a graphic of the course flown by the jet...it seems to me the guy was flying as direct as possible to the airport, entering a modified base leg perhaps too close to the field to get stablized on the approach.

Even one statement by another pilot that the pilot in question ''flew fast'' and some of us know what that means.

high, fast, out of position...maybe pushed it on to the runway and couldn't stop...maybe even tried to go around and stalled her in...ouch
