I wasn't PiC, so my comments aren't meaningful .. i MIGHT have cut and feathered to props before landing, but this guy saved his passengers, and used the plane to do it...

it's rebuildable, and likely will be back in the air soon

Nice carrier landing. If he was concerned about the landing gear not being down and locked, creaming it onto the runway certainly wasn't going to help the situation.

When I first saw the video I was going to congratulate the guy for landing without power considering his sink rate. Then it was clear there was a landing gear issue. He apparently wanted to get the A/C on the ground and out of there as fast and as hard as he could. He definitely stuck the landing.
