I saw the video this morning, seems like lot of thrust set in at the rear shortly after it touched the ground.
Glad to hear the pilot is safe.

Maybe it just got an unwanted Microsoft (tm for turdmark) update in the wrong moment, like it happens all the time and everywhere

OK pilot, that will be $78,000,000. Would you be interested in our automatic payroll deduction plan?
