I'm not sure this passage is accurate: "Having lost the port side landing gear, power failure grounded the plane and Gustafsson tried to slow the plane through its aerodynamic surfaces. The manoeuver was judged so perfect that it is now incorporated into SAS technical manuals. "

The takeoff speed of a MD-87 is probably around 270 Km/h, and the impact speed of 250 km/hr is not far off it. I'm not an authority in this matter, but I would bet the pilot had exceeded the point of no return, called the "balanced field length" in avionics (see: Airliner Takeoff Speeds), and was actually trying to fly the plane rather than stop it.

From the current version of the article - it is not clear what was the Cessna doing - taxiing/landing/or taking off? --Roman 21:01, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

This article virtually identical to same at answers.com Plutonium27 23:30, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

That's probably because answers.com blatantly rips off Wikipedia.--Prosfilaes 08:10, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

It's not a blatant rip-off - Wikipedia is licensed under GFDL, which means anyone can reuse our articles. That's what "free" content is all about! AKRadecki^Speaketh 13:17, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Just a note here, the German Corporate Jet was not a Citation II as shown in the photo, it was a Cessna CJ2 a different type altogether.
