Why was a plane with hydraulic problems not stopped at the end of the runway?

The collision is violent. The wing of the airbus rips open the cockpit of the smaller plane, jet fuel pours out. Brian LaCroix of Allina Medical is part of a team of Twin Cities emergency personnel who have created a plan to deal with this type of crash. "It had to be horrifying to be in that cockpit," said Brian LaCroix. A single spark could have created a fireball. Umm...jet fuel is not stored in the cockpit. Stupid TV news people...

Ah, NorthWorst Airlines. What with the strikes and the regular lousy service, I'd rather not fly them. Trouble is, they pretty much own MSP.
Still, their bankruptcy is near. Perhaps we'll end up with something better soon.

Anyone else notice the orange flash near the end of the collision sequence? Just forward of center on the bigger craft, at the top of the fuselage.

"Experts who have viewed the tape wonder why the planes didn't explode on impact." The same experts advise Hollywood on how big to make the explosions resulting from a unicycle falling off a cliff.

How can it possibly be that in 2006, major airports either have absolutely no video, or some tourist's shaky videocam (complete with the cameraman's muffled screams), or worse still some grainy crap video from some surveillance camera that just happened to catch part of a crash??? Unfathomable!
There are at least 2 cameras in every 7-11 store, taping 24 hours a day, but no official airport cameras taping every single takeoff and landing of every plane, in every airport on earth?!
Absolutely unfathomable to me in this day and age!
