Landed “hot and fast”, about 6,000 past the runway threshold and only 3,000 feet from the end of the runway. Basically, he missed the runway. Major screw-up by the pilot.

If done correctly, that’s a missed approach, re-fly the pattern and go again. Instead the captain slams it on the runway, breaks the plane and kills somebody. What is it about commercial aviation in other countries that creates such mediocre pilots?

What an idiot! How could he not go around when anticipating touchdown 3,000 feet from end of runway?
