On the serious note because in APC land, people don’t often get jokes, it’s GOOD THAT EVERYONE MADE IT OUT OK.

What I meant was a lot of these racing guys are into aviation.
Michael Schumacher (F1) flew helicopters.
Wouldn’t be unthinkable to give the famous guy some stick time once in a while. Maybe even land when the weather is nice.
I’m just curious about what appears to be a very clumsy accident for a “pro” crew.

Interesting related data that I came across recently - most of the EMAS arrestments have been corporate (Part 91) turbine powered aircraft. Hmm... A common recurring theme is Unstabilized approaches, Lack of SOP discipline, “pride” getting in the way of Good ADM (reluctance to go-around) , and pilots not fully understanding landing performance data could all be contributing factors. 10kts fast on final = touchdown appx 1000ft further down the runway. Glad everyone survived, but this hull loss was 100% preventable IMHO. We can all learn from this ad hopefully not to repeat it.
