Stupid people do sometimes become pilots!

Never land a jet downwind. There's just no reason. Second, never land any plane on a runway too short for rated performance. Furthermore, your really should not land on a runway that is close to your rated limit. Those performance charts leave little margin for error and assume optimal braking performance and no tailwind.

Third, why on earth did he try to power his way out of the water? That was just insane. If nothing else, have one of those boats hook up to the nose gear and let the boat tow you out. It looked like the boat was trying to do that and was making some headway.

***WARNING*****
Some of you might be offended by language... There are few words in here.... I mean, if you saw a jet turn itself into a "jet-boat" then I am sure you would be pretty shocked.....its a good video nontheless......
