Maybe he was practicing to take on the Miss Budweiser and Oh Boy Oberto boats in the upcoming hydroplane racing season?!?!?!?!

and.... the registration is pretty telling too. OY - JET....OY is right.
 
Holy Shat!!

I wonder if water in the fuel finally killed the engine? LOL
 
It's bader field in Atlantic City? What's the back story and why was someone there with a camera?
 
Answered my own question with a search of the NTSB site


NTSB Identification: NYC05LA085.
The docket is stored in the Docket Management System (DMS). Please contact Records Management Division
14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation
Accident occurred Sunday, May 15, 2005 in Atlantic City, NJ
Probable Cause Approval Date: 5/30/2006
Aircraft: Cessna 525A, registration: OY-JET
Injuries: 1 Minor, 3 Uninjured.
The pilot performed "a low pass" over the runway, and then touched down approximately 1,000 feet beyond the approach end of the 2,948-foot long runway, with a tailwind of approximately 10 knots. After touchdown, the airplane continued off the end of the runway, and subsequently impacted water. According to the Cessna 525A Landing Distance Chart, an airplane with a landing weight of 11,400 pounds required 3,000 feet of landing distance, in a no wind situation. With a 10 knot tailwind, the airplane required 3,570 feet of landing distance. The published airport diagram for the airport, was observed attached to the pilot's control column after the accident. A notation, which read, "airport closed to jet aircraft" was observed on the diagram. Additionally, the same notation, "Arpt CLOSED to jet traffic," was observed in the FAA Airport/Facility Directory. Examination of the airplane revealed no mechanical deficiencies. The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:
The pilot's improper decision to plan a flight to a runway of insufficient length, his improper in-flight decision to land on that inadequate runway with a tailwind, and his failure to obtain the proper touchdown point. A factor in the accident was the tailwind condition.
 
I liked the comment the narrator gave toward the beginning.... "tire marks... what is this, tires or something, maybe that was from here before..."
 
Some Scandinavian company owned it.

They replaced it with a newer Citation. No BS, the reg. on the new one is OY-WET.

Do a search on airliners.net if you don't believe it.
 
Tough way to get your seaplane endorsement.
 
you don't mess around with Bader. There has been several lives lost in that bay, especially back when there was sked service in there.

As someone else mentioned on another thread, had the gear been up, they'd probably would have made it up onto the step...

Nu
 
Probably would have gotten there if the other motor was running too. Looked like only one screw was turning.
 
So did the damn thing fire up by itself???? And if the idiot that drove it in there was at the controls he should be shot!

Why? If someone was at the controls, does it REALLY hurt anyone (except himself), if he/she does'nt make it to shore (assuming the idiot did attempt to drive it in)? Is there a reg. against attempting to power out of a bay after an overshoot? Maybe? Careless & reckless? Big gamble, either way. Beyond that, when your boots (or, if they truly were Scandiavian ... clogs) get wet, who cares? He/She's trying to park a 3 million dollar jet. Regardless, they'll will never fly again (unless they're under European regs)! Either way, great video!

"Kilroy was here"

Well it looked like when it fired up folks were still "tethered" to it in boats.
