Yeah, in this other video (can’t tell if it’s the same event or just a similar one), the plane appears to touch down right at the start of the threshold marker

Edit: I think this is the same event, from a different camera. I think I recognise some of the same people in the two videos.

He actually got lower out over the water than he was over the beach. IOW, he had to _climb_ over that beach. Not good at all.
