I fly the challenger 604, I believe that was a 601, but the same wing which is very critical. If in fact they were coming in with a 30 kt tail wind I'm amazed that they were even able to keep that thing in the air to make it to the runway. Not saying that there wasnt a tailwind cause you can def see the snow blowing in the direction of a tailwind. I had heard they tried to go around but looking at that video they touched down. Either way scary video
