He's gotten a lot of criticism by the peanut gallery on his channel for coming in hot, carrying too much speed and having some helmet fire. But I know exactly how he feels - when my Aerostar door popped open, I was terrified it would come off and hit elevator with structural damage as a result. It's hard to keep calm when you face what you think is catastrophic failure - you just want to get on the ground. They both walked away, so that's all that matters. Plane however might not have done so well. Heard there's structural damage in the tail.

Emergency starts around 3:45.

Hmm, I did search for it, but came up empty. Guess I didn't search good enough! Mods - please merge or delete.
