I hope to never hear this first-hand. Of course I've increased the

I cannot tell - Was this a pilot mistake or a gear failure?

The first thing that jumped out at me was at the very beginning of the
video, you can hear one of the pilot talking about their "clubs". He
says something like "I went back there the day after to get back my
clubs and those things..."

To me it sounds like they were just shootin' the ****, weren't paying
attention to what they were doing, didn't do the checklist, and got
screwed. If it was a real emergency, they'd have been freaking out.
They would have told someone, and there would have been firetrucks
standing by.
