First off you're on national television. Shave the scent saver and put on something nicer than blue jeans and a tee shirt.
Second. When you go to demonstrate the stopping capabilities of the 777 on a 4000' strip on nation television.... make sure you use reverse thrust. Even the anchor and the retired 777 (real) pilot had a hard time from busting up when they started to see dirt, grass and trees go by!
Smooth move buddy.......

What is it they say in the Navy?
"If the Minimum weren't good enough, it wouldn't be the minimum!"
or was it, "Anything over 70% is just showing off!"
and at the Air Force Academy,
"If you have to cheat to win... WIN!"

The guy was a known screwup. What did he expect?

50'!

OH MY!
It's riveting TV!
Don Lemon just told me so!
Both CNN and Faux News have become reality entertainment shows, rather than reporting any real "News".
