That was definitely some improper decision-making in the cockpit..
So were you there, as an eye witness to the wing snapping off?
Apparently you and I weren't looking at the same video, because the one I was looking at didn't show a wing snapping off.
The pilot of this airplane obviously made a hell of a bad decision to not push the go levers forward after floating more than 1/3 down the runway. But we don't know what he was doing on the wing. Perhaps he was helping passengers evacuate, who knows. I don't, and I seriously doubt anybody here does either.
