Investigation is ongoing.
The BLI runway is one of those fun ones that rises and falls away at just the wrong places. It isn't sphincter clinching short in the Megawhacker, but we have to be mindful of keeping floating to a minimum.

^^ Carrier landing for sure.
I know someone who had a sister on that flight. She said the pilot came on after they stopped, and he said something like, "All the guages look right, so I don't think we are on fire, or anything". Great.

I would not take a passengers word on this.
I had an incident a few years ago with faulty boots on a Navajo and really bad icing. Everyone was quick to judgement and played arm-chair quarterback with my decisions for some time. It gave me a new appreciation for 'waiting until the investigation is done' before condemning another pilot's decisions or actions.

No humor intended...but when you have skid marks the last 1000' and then you go appox 100' into the mud...that means you weren't on speed, and that you didn't touch down in the touchdown zone.
I've spent a good amount of time in the QX crew room...have alot of friends that work there...maybe even one of them was flying this flight...that, I'll never tell.
