Blimey! Suspect the flight crew needed to requisition some fresh flight overalls after that one.

That seemed to go awfully low! Is that normal?

I thought they landed on takeoff power in case of missing the wire?

Maybe but they didn't miss the wire. It almost robbed them of flying speed before it snapped.
