Yeah, I saw that. What a remarkably bad piece of piloting! Did you read the NTSB report? Pilot claimed to have lost his brakes.

What a dope: landing a jet at an airport specifically closed to jet traffic. Landing DOWNWIND on a runway that was too short for his aircraft anyway. Performing a low pass and landing at an uncontrolled field without communicating on UNICOM (with another slower a/c in the pattern already). Crashing. Then exiting the a/c without making sure power was off and the aircraft was secure.
Wonder what he's doing for a living now?
