Anytime there’s an accident with a large passenger plane, the first “pilot error” to investigate is if the pilot yelled something that sounds too much like Admiral Ackbar.

Amazing there was no fire on that rear fuselage, wing, and empennage remnant.

Sounds like a case of “get-there-itis”....someone was in a rush and did not want to go around a second time.

PROOF that your ego can kill you

This is why you don’t want H1B people in charge of anything important.

"...The pilot 'continued ... and landed ... halfway down the runway'...."
Airmanship 101:
Touchdown should always be within the first third of the runway and ideally "on the numbers." If you can't make it in the first third, throttle up, flaps up, gear up and notify ATC that you're going around.
