Has the audio been put on the internet?

Lead saw an aircraft to the left and quickly rolls wings level. 6 was left high. Textbook breakout execution - well done.

Glad he got out and didn’t try to test pilot it back.

Both L/R flaps show damage where the main gear were sheared straight aft (verified on the left, dunno about the right). The video shot from row 20’ish out the left side tells a lot about the final moments. Did they land short? That’d do it.

28 knot crosswind (someone check my calculations please) Upwind gear collapses outboard. I wonder if there is footage of the landing from any of the security cameras?
