Totally agree - and in addition to that, I agree with av8rmike - this approach was unsafe.

(from what we see in this video & not having the cockpit tapes and/or FDR to go with it - as I stated earlier - "anything is possible")

The end (outcome = didn't crash or land gear up) doesn't justify the means.

P.S. whether this approach was filmed before the FOM-directed "stabilized approach" criteria being implemented or not does not make it any more or less safe. Legality is a different question all-together. Definitely unsafe.

Great discussion here about it too.
