Aside from CRM issues, why was a 13000 hour pilot diving down to the runway like that?? 87 knots too fast at touchdown?? Sounds like a horrible pilot, if he couldn't assimilate the fact that things were rushing toward his face at a rate 165% more than normal. And the only thing he can think to say to his panicking FO is "landing checklist complete, right?" Uh, no.

Those solid state black boxes were completely barbecued, it's amazing what they can get out of them.
