The article at:

has at the end:

Commercial pilots can raise their landing gear to stop in an
emergency, he said. "It's not pleasant, but it works," he said.

No squat switch on airliners? Yes squat switch on F-18?

An F-18 Naval Strike Fighter crashed at RDU today. It appears it was taxing
or in the process of taking off, but never lifted off. Might have been
wake turbulance from another F-18 that had just departed.
