I used to fly small planes and if there’s anything on the runway it requires a go around. Having a seat nope tire hit a large object during landing could be catastrophic

Remembering the old adage about useless things - Airspace above, Runway behind & Fuel trucks on the ground I have to ask ‘WHY did he land a Stinson over halfway down the runway’?

Catastophic. Like raising a wheel to avoid running over an animal in a plane. I guess they were doomed either way.
