After an inflight engine shutdown, the crew ended up landing on the wrong runway with a nice tailwind. They landed long and fast. The captain reversed the remaining good engine which slung the aircraft off the runway.
@hawker445 I've flown and landed a P180 with both the engine shut down and windmilling, have even shot an approach down to mins and gone missed with a shut down engine. That aircraft handles like a dream, it had to have been something else besides the engine being out.
This company ( Avantair ) has had a lot of maintenance problems in the past with frozen controls, avionics failures,and mulltple engine failures. As a pilot, I'am surprised they are still in business.
Glad one one was seriously hurt, this time. Good luck to the crew!

Does anyone know what happened here? My return flight from Fort Myers was messed up this day because of this mishap.

I don't see any skid marks from the right main. I wonder if he had a brake failure on the right? I hope they were ok.

The landing gear didn't seem to be the problem this time...
