Did a search and didn't see the video in the first 100 or so results and haven't seen it before myself. I was wondering just how deep a cage the FAA and the Coast Guard would throw this pilot in for endangering so many lives (later in the video, he turns the biz jet into a airboat). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYhrpA0tmBQ

I also wonder what the pilot wanted to achieve. Did he expect to get the aircraft out of the water???

I've seen this before and I don't remember the full story but it had something to do with the engine controls shorting out and the engines starting up by themselves, nothing to do with the pilot!

The pilot evacuated the airplane with the other passengers. The engines were not fully shut down and powered up on their own. It certainly is a scary incident.

The FAA came down hard on that pilot for landing on a runway too short for jet traffic. The pilot tried to land a Citation on a runway that is less than 3000ft with a 10 knot tailwind.

If you have never designed an airplane part before, let the real designers do the work!

This story is a classic in Denmark.
The pilot was the owner of the aircraft. His name is Erik Larsen and the aircraft was registered OY-JET. It was repaired and returned to flying status, but not with Mr. Larsen.
He bought a new aircraft, and proofed he ís not without humor, when he registered his new aircraft OY-WET.......!!!!

I seem to remember a picture on A.net of a similarly-painted Citation (registered in the same country I believe) of a guy flying single-pilot either completely naked or just sans shirt, but I can't find it. Is this the same guy?

What were the people in the boat doing? They were taking their sweet time. I know it didn't seem like a serious incident, but why hang around for so long? Even after the engine started spooling up, they took forever to reverse and get out of there.
