Doh, that SUCKS.

Regardless of the reason I feel for that dude. He'll never live that one down. I'm sure the callsign review board is already complete.

I also hope he/she is ok. Wx looked good, brake failure?

Oh frick. I just threw up in my mouth.

Speed brakes were not deployed. Looks like when it went off the end and the nose gear collapsed it might have FODed out the engine, which would explain the flames in the tailpipe; he/she surely wasn't lighting the burner at this point!

Apparently, it wasn't the only jet that departed the prepared surface!
