It was hard to tell and it took a long time to load so I'm not watching it again; but does the smoke from the tires begin at landing (you know....the usual puff of smoke) or is that smoke from jumping on the brakes? I ask because it seems that the animal is well off the runway before the airplane gets to that point and truthfully I would try not to make any sudden maneuvers on the runway - especially at speed. XPEHBAM - you mention running off the airplane with the props still spinning; did you notice that they are loaded down with their carry ons too? Btw - how long after you shut down the (remaining) engine will the prop continue to spin? From those who know - does it look like they immediately shutdown down the engine(s) after departing the runway or does the left engine continue to run for some amount of time before the crew eventually shuts it down?
