[Andy Mac]

That is amazing ,i think all those naked girls on the deck put him off.

All the baby oil didn't help either

They sit inside that special (plane-proof) bubble thing on the deck.

The laggy band worked pretty well in stopping the plane though.

Thats not landing, its crashing with style

[Munter]

Any landing you walk away from........

And they say working on the flight deck of a US carrier is the most dangerous job in the world! Pah I dont believe a word of it.... Did you see the brown stain those guys left as they ran for it!

They are worth around $30 million USD, though it wasn't a complete write off. That'll teach him not to drop the starboard wing so much on touchdown.

He was too slow, too close to the stall.

[eccles]

were they filming him through a speed camera on approach?.....i rekon the driver saw the speed camera, stamped on the brakes with expensive results!
