A testament to following your takeoff checklist to the 'T' every single time.

What step did they miss Tom?

The one where they ask all the internet experts for what to do next...

Oh thanks Matt, I just spit beer all over my monitor...

Secure the APU and fuel. Nothing personal, just one of those things. I am acquainted with a pilot who although very highly respected has none-the-less "landed" several times with gear up. Another friend of mine who is a retired one star general just chuckles and says, "There is NO reason to ever do that - that is what your checklist is for, the minute you are too good for it your luck will run out". Now, I do not know anyone on the recovery expedition and certainly wish none of them any ill - it just serves as a poignant lesson.

How many times and is he going for some kind of record?
