I didnt get the arrestor hook either, like said if they are coming down slow you would think they would want to ease the plane onto the tarmac instead of losing airspeed fast with the hook and bellyflopping. I mean thats australia and in the summer I wouldnt be surprised to see the tarmac being able to cook an egg on.
Also why didnt they dump their fuel before the landing? Isnt that standard procedure for emergency landings?
