Oh well.... The skies would clearly have been safer for fare paying passengers and innocent crewmembers had the Captain been terminated.

Truly had the ego that he had to complete the mission on the first go rather than going around after floating half way down the runway.


There is no doubt the flight crew screwed up, but rather than lobbing insults onto them and preaching about how "I would never do that..." perhaps it would be more prudent to realize that, under the right conditions, any one of us could be set up in a similar way when the holes in the Swiss cheese line up just right... and to remain vigilant against that happening, using the lessons learned from this unfortunate accident.

Negative. When one can avail information from Prog. Page 2, as they watch the useable runway disappear before their eyes and not electing to go around rather than landing almost 1/2 way down the runway... there was no set up that I could see.
