If a crew stalls a perfectly flying airplane and kills everyone on board youbcan't say anything bad because "you weren't there" and you are Monday morning quarterbacking.
But if a crew has an in-flight emergency (single engine in this case from the reports) and gets it on the ground (with a stiff x-wind according to one poster(?)) and everyone lives then you can't say good job?
Just proof positive that you can't make everybody happy.
I say - glad no one was killed.
Now let the NTSB figured out the 'goods and others' of the mishap.

In any emergency.......Rule #1.....FLY THE PLANE.......not CRASH THE PLANE AND PAT YOURSELF ON THE BACK BECAUSE NONE OF THE PASSENGERS WERE KILLED!
Landing on the wrong runway, touching down way too fast and halfway down the runway.....unbelievable and unprofessional.
Poor maintenance, poor aircraft design, pathetic piloting.....pick one you like. None of the above make Avantair look good.

What does it takes for the Faa to act, accidents ?
How many Engine failures, ADC failures, Frozen controls?
