The description of the video saying that his was because of a jammed pitch trim is of course nonsense.

I'd like to know the total runway length, to arm-chair-parlour-talk, they were pretty far past the traditional 1000-ft "aim point", although the skid marks suggest a lot of folks land a little further down.
Looks like fun!
