Yeah, nothing good. It's good that there is water and it does not burn yet.

Yeah, water only burns on Tuesdays.

If I were the pilot I think I would have tried to find out who those guys were that filmed this,,,,He could have gotten a bit lower if he were not worried about hitting them with his landing gear.

At a little over 2,000 ft of runway St. Barts has a reputation of being one of the world's trickiest landings (top three I think). The pilot may have been unfamiliar or uncomfortable with the realities of landing there. He or she was way too high on the approach, and should have aborted the landing and gone around for another try. There's a rather busy road at the top of the hill, and when you're on final approach you have to be less than 50ft off the deck, then maintain that quite literally using the slope of the hill as your glide slope guide. There are many things that COULD be done to improve this situation, but there have only been a couple fatal crashes, so it's the standard scenario of unless and until.... To Ray, if you come back and read this -- the people filming this had nothing to with the crash, it was pilot error plain and simple. He/she had the final decision in whether to continue approach profiles or abort.

He initially came in too high, so he decended fast bringing up speed and increased the roll out (glide above the runway). We have a term for this in the pilot world.... Bummer... :D
