That is indeed odd and way too young to be retired as a 2006 build with many older aircraft still flying for JetBlue.

These kind of landing accidents aren’t common, but they do happen every couple of years.
These events are pure idiocy. Should be banned. Or held in the middle of the sea. I agree. Too many pilots and spectators have died or have been injured.
