Citation in the Drink!

Home video of a BizJet landing downwind on a wet, short runway. After running off the runway into the harbor, all hands are apparently rescued by boat -- but then you won't believe what happens next!
Here's a link to the NTSB Report:

And another link with more information about this bizarre accident:

NTSB Identification: NYC05LA085. 14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation Accident occurred Sunday, May 15, 2005 in Atlantic City, NJ




Probable Cause Approval Date: 5/30/2006
Aircraft: Cessna 525A, registration: OY-JET
Injuries: 1 Minor, 3 Uninjured.
The pilot performed "a low pass" over the runway, and then touched down approximately 1,000 feet beyond the approach end of the 2,948-foot long runway, with a tailwind of approximately 10 knots. After touchdown, the airplane continued off the end of the runway, and subsequently impacted water. According to the Cessna 525A Landing Distance Chart, an airplane with a landing weight of 11,400 pounds required 3,000 feet of landing distance, in a no wind situation. With a 10 knot tailwind, the airplane required 3,570 feet of landing distance. The published airport diagram for the airport, was observed attached to the pilot's control column after the accident. A notation, which read, "airport closed to jet aircraft" was observed on the diagram. Additionally, the same notation, "Arpt CLOSED to jet traffic," was observed in the FAA Airport/Facility Directory. Examination of the airplane revealed no mechanical deficiencies. The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows: The pilot's improper decision to plan a flight to a runway of insufficient length, his improper in-flight decision to land on that inadequate runway with a tailwind, and his failure to obtain the proper touchdown point. A factor in the accident was the tailwind condition.

Sadly, Atlantic City's Bader Field has since been closed for political reasons.

A very bad pilot; Not only because of trying to land on an inadequate runway, but FOR NOT TURNING OFF THE FUEL TO THE ENGINES AFTER THE CRASH!

By the way, I read that the guy bought a new jet. Registration OY-WET xD

It's just such a classic aviation safety video now for ADM. Just glad no one was hurt much and we can laugh a bit watching the james bond boat plane. Sorry to see Bader Field go too just like Meigs in Chicago.

He came in too fast and with the wind instead of into the wind. He went long on the runway and as a result, couldn't stop before running off into the river. Shutting off the Master fuel and electrical switches would have been helpful. Speaks volumes for the Citations structural strength. Even with only one engine running it stays in one piece being pushed through water. Nothing something are designed or tested to do. The Asymmetrical load had to be severe.

Worst. Landing. Ever. Look how hard he touches down. Also he seems much too fast. Might be because he landed downwind, but accounting for that, it still looks much too fast to me.

[Techno9408]

He told my Dad that the reason for the engine started was that he didnt Cut Off the fuel

[Techno9408]

This was hes private jet evigt he flew himself (my Dad flew with him as pilot) the owner of This plane is from Denmark (As i am myself ofcourse)

@Mjws2907

Yes, "They" do!

Ok, but the main question remains... will it blend?
