It always bothered me when one went down, wasn't sure if I'd worked on it or not. He was one hell of a pilot and if I remember correctly he was bringing that thing by varying engine power since he'd lost all hydraulics. I seem to remember too that he'd of made it except at the last second before touch down he caught a cross wind that drove the left wing tip into the ground causing the plane to cartwheel and other nasty things.
