Amazing video - Citation overrun in ACY

Incredible Video: Citation Overshoots Runway
The Citation overshoots the runway, ends up in the water, and it seems that everyone gets out onto a boat.

Just when you think things couldn't get worse, watch what happens next. [At about the 4 minute mark, continues through the end of the clip].

First time I've seen it. Lighten up, Francis.

Thanks for posting it, aa73. Any more info on what happened? Why Bader? Why a tailwind? It's like those guys with the camera were expecting it.

Status: Final
Date: 15 MAY 2005
Time: 15:48
Type: Cessna 525A CitationJet 2
Operator: Weibel Scientific
Registration: OY-JET
C/n / msn: 525A-0089
First flight:
Total airframe hrs: 360
Engines: 2 Williams International FJ44-2C
Crew: Fatalities: 0 / Occupants: 1
Passengers: Fatalities: 0 / Occupants: 3
Total: Fatalities: 0 / Occupants: 4
Airplane damage: Written off
Location: Atlantic City-Bader Field, NJ (AIY) (United States of America)
Phase: Landing
Nature: Executive
Departure airport: Burlington International Airport, VT (BTV/KBTV), United States of America
Destination airport: Atlantic City-Bader Field, NJ (AIY), United States of America
Narrative:
The CitationJet departed Burlington (BTV) around 14:45 on a routine flight to Atlantic City (AIY). The pilot first made a low pass down runway 29 and then return to land on runway 11. After touchdown the airplane failed to stop and overran the runway and into the Intercoastal Waterway. The occupants were rescued by a boat.
According to the Cessna 525A Landing Distance Chart, an airplane with a landing weight of 11,000 pounds required 2,930 feet of landing distance, in a no wind situation. With a 10 knot tailwind, which was the approx wind at the time of the accident, the airplane required 3,500 feet of landing distance. Runway 11 at Bader Field is a 2,948 foot-long, 100 foot-wide, asphalt runway. Bader Field is normally closed to jet traffic.

PROBABLE CAUSE: "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."
Events:

Landing/takeoff - Landing - Late, far down rwy
Result - Came to rest off rwy - in water

Gracias. I'm feeling entirely to lazy right now to have gone and done that myself.

On one site it said he make a low approach with a tailwind before the landing attempt that was caught on video. I'm just guessing that after seeing a jet make a low approach to a short runway (at an airport that prohibited jet traffic) with a tailwind and then come back to try again it was a perfect thing to get on tape.
