Craig says sorry about using "blue mode". This is a unique approach! I think that the Captain of this DC-10-30 was ready to go around about 30 times before they actually decided to land :)

  • Wow! Has any explanation ever been given by United or the PIC as to the reason for the extended touchdown?

  • I think the crew intended to land long to shorten their taxi to the gate.

  • Should I land or should I to/ga? If I land there will be trouble, if I go around there will be double! So ATC you gotta let me knoooow: should I land or should I to/ga?

  • I like "blue mode".

  • The pilot could have been suffering from obsessive indecision. Either that, or he forgot what the TDZ was.

  • had this been a 737-800 or similar, it would have been a guaranteed, big time, sparking tailstrike.

  • I bet they were braking HARD

  • freaking high flare....musta thought he was landing the Titanic

  • Why did you censor him skidding off the runway?
