@stewartx5 How did you expect them to act: like rabid chimps? Go to YouTube video -K4QHpVXtxI , it is the original video. Oh...and read the description there. Therein are the facts. *kiss-kiss*

@domdonald Cessna Cutlass RG...essentially a 172 with retractable gear, were made only a few years.

fake !!

The gear warning beep sounds less than authentic - like maybe it was added on using any number of freeware/shareware apps available for download. Same thing for the scraping sound. And didn't hear the prop strike and subsequent engine shutdown, although I personally have no idea if it would be audible since I've never experienced a gear-up landing. Just adding an opinion... thanks for the video.

Hogwash. Don't judge without more info. The crew had no immediate reaction (to the sound of crunching metal, etc), so were clearly expecting that outcome. That indicates a known landing gear failure or similar, likely already verified by previous flights over the runway. Also suggests why there were no checklists (already done) and talking. Finally, it's quite possible their fuel status didn't allow for diverting to another airport.

How do you know when you've landed gear up? When it takes full power to taxi in. :)
Unnecessary talking below 1000', no checklists being used, no crew awareness or investigation as to why the gear warning horn is constantly on, no confirmation from the tower or other aircraft if the landing gear is visually down, no diverting to another airport with firetrucks or having medical assistance on standby, no idle-cutoff at the flare (the last 4 of those assuming that they had any concerns about the status of the gear) and worst of all a needless accident. Maintain cockpit disipline!
